A few years ago, my family and I were on a picnic, and someone drove past in a restored, candy apple red '57 Chevy, and the entire park stopped and granted the driver and his beauty a standing ovation. I thought that was a moment of unusual harmony and beauty.

Hello..I think this fruits of labour question could be taken in many way. Here's my version: I know a guy here who wrote a new story when he was 12 in the local newspaper. He prod the story and went on and on and on...he finally pinned the corrupt officials in one massive story. But he was 52 by then, and had become an Associate Editor. His name is P Sainath.

Yes. After a life of upsets and being told that she was not able to learn anything, my partner decided that she wanted to go to college and catch up on what she had missed. At first, the intention was just to get her numeracy and literacy but she found she actually enjoyed learning. Now, four years later, she has gained sufficient qualifications to get into University. For somebody with no qualifications at all to start with, she has proved to herself that she is not 'stupid' like she had been persuaded by those in her past.
When she was accepted for university as a mature student, I certainly had a tear in my eye.

Oh, in fact, we seemed to even 'restore' that lost tear!
While biking once, with that unfolded side-stand, a smaller vehicle frantically raced, overtook, waved, and warned of the danger. Gratefully acknowledging the warning, we proceeded to meet at the next signals. A mischief occurred, and we asked that benefactor to offer a cup of coffee. Further angered ( the anger with that ego 'I had to struggle to save you, racing with a smaller two wheeler to catch up'), "and now instead of you offering a thanks-giving, asking for a coffee!"
"Oh, " we replied, " We could at the most feel a sense of gratitude, a sense of humility, but you celebrated that 'joy' of having saved someone's life, so you got tastier 'fruits'.... reason good enough to offer us coffee"! Upon realising this aspect of freedom from 'expectations' leading to unconditional love from within, it brought tears to the very person (that someone and his labour)!

WTF?
NO cars don't "do" anything for me, the entire park populations were probably over come with exhaust fumes! A car is a car, a machine... there isn't any harmony or genuine beauty to it... that strikes me as being shallow.

The fruits of my labor were TRUE fruits of my labor, my children and yes both of them brought tears to my eye when I first laid eyes on them after they were born. There is NOTHING that will ever match this feeling in the whole world!

Yes. right in my very own eyes. My mom's hard work to raise all her children and put them all to university all by herself.
