In the "Lord's Prayer", the well known phrase "Give us this day our daily bread", has a surprising secret. In the original greek, the word translated as "daily" is a word, "Epiousion", that is unique. It is known no where else in ancient greek. Translating it has no consensus. Literally translated, "epi-" is a prefix meaning 'on top of', and -ousion' means "being". 'on top of being'. Some translate it as "super necessary", "supersubstantial", and even "the <thing> of tomorrow". The 'thing' of the coming age, ie immortality. Is this 'bread' just another form of the ambrosia of greek myth? I feel like there are so many hidden connections between things at times.

I was reading a recent reddit thread about generational differences and approach to work. Older generations (like me - I'm X) have a lot of identity tied up on their work and wow that fits me to a T. I defined myself by what I do and did, and find fulfillment and value in it. I /~LIKE~/ my work. I have plenty of other non work related identity, but they don't seem to be valued by anyone else (nor do they have to be) so they just don't show up as much. Ultimately I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong here - just that craft/work as your identity isn't necessarily a bad thing.
