Good post. I feel it is to our utter shame that we look down on those working with their hands. If anything, we should be grateful that we have such individuals around- else, where would we be without our builders, plumbers,carpenters, potters and others? I think they should be accorded the same respect as other professions and encouraged. Here, in the West, such individuals are high earners and much respected. Let's not forget the words of Alexander Pope -
