On this Labor Day, I take a moment to share Einstein's thoughts on honoring the labor of others. He recognized that everything we have is "based on the labors of others" and that we therefore have an obligation "to exert ourselves in order to give in the same measure" as we have received. I believe Einstein's ideas require us to take a little time every day to learn about what is happening in the world and advocate for those less fortunate than ourselves. For instance, those working multiple jobs just to survive, those facing conditions detrimental to their health, and those who, after a lifetime of work, cannot afford a dignified retirement.
