What profession do you admire most and why?

Of course, I could answer the question right off with a simple sentence or two about an established job title in which humans are purposefully trained— BUT, I’m a rebel armed with a lifetime of unanswered questions.

Take a moment and ask yourself, what is your definition of ‘Profession’.

pro·fes·sion

/prəˈfeSH(ə)n/

noun

1. a paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification.”his chosen profession of teaching.
2. an act of declaring that one has a particular feeling or quality, especially when this is not the case.”his profession of delight rang hollow”

According to Oxford Languages, there are two definitions for the work ‘profession’.

The first describes the traditional ideal of a profession. A paid occupation in which training and formal qualification is required. Simple terms, a JOB.

You go to school, you get the paper, you go to work. The perfect description of the tradition American Dream.

In reading through others posts this morning, I noticed virtually all of them went with the occupational definition for this word. I also realize I am wired completely differently as I immediately pondered the alternate definitions for the word.

The profession I admire the most is vulnerability. The ability to break all the walls of trauma and show that kindness truly lives within. I admire the vulnerability of love. The intense, passionate bond that two perfectly matched people personify to the lost masses. I admire the vulnerability of the soul, to defend and shield emotions from breaking our being. I appreciate those with the vulnerability to see past their pride and profess their need for help and others.

I admire the vulnerability of letting go. Letting go of your feelings, letting go of your hate, letting go of the programmed responses that continue the cycle of destruction and hate.

I admire the profession of vulnerability. What profession do you admire?
