The Weight of the World

The weight of the world can press down upon all of our shoulders. New babies, broken relationships, poverty, inability to control external circumstances, bad jobs and so forth. To carry the weight of the world around with us is, unfortunately, a sin for all intents and purposes.
Why is such a thing as being burdened considered to be a sin?
Well, guilt is considered sinful and when we place unreasonable pressure and burden upon ourselves for the weight of the world, we are placing unnecessary guilt upon our own heads. We feel guilty for everything, including not getting extra work done, not spending enough time with our kids, and not doing our jobs as well as we should.
When we allow ourselves to condemn us for all of our transgressions, we stack guilt upon guilt, sin upon sin, and pressure and burden upon pressure and burden. There are many ways to deal with this. You can forgive yourself for not being perfect and get back to your life, or you can continue to heap unreasonable expectations upon your own head until your pain is so great that you now need an escape.
And that is how many people have found themselves addicted to drugs and alcohol over the years. It sort of just happened.
But, my friend, it happened for a reason.
While we here at Mediscreen cannot stop you from piling these extraneous burdens upon your own head, we can, nevertheless, help to ease the burden of screening your employees for these particular results of their pressures and daily life struggles. Workplace drug testing screens your employees for potential drug abuse or alcohol abuse while on the worksite. This helps to leave a paper trail so that your company is not liable for any accidents which may occur in the future, and it also helps you to decide which employees to keep and which to let go. Fortunately, onsite drug & alcohol testing makes this even more possible, at a reduced rate and a move convenient setup.
Do not let the entire weight of the world bear down upon your shoulders.
