Most people just work to live, those who live to work deserve something extra. 

This probably the the dumbest thing I've seen you post and you've posted some stupid shit. There's more to life than just work.

Personally, I work because it's that or die. My job isn't horrible, I'd still rather do things I like. I have a dozen hobbies, that can be more work than work, I enjoy more. Most people would rather create or do someone they derive pleasure from.

I'm not certain if people who love work only get dopamine his from that and lack that in other parts of their life? Fuck, I'd rather sit under a tree and talk about that at length than work.

But hey, if work makes them happy, I guess?

Life's what you make it. You can work 16 hour days, accumulate wealth and material things, and kick the bucket before you even turn 50. What was the point of working that much when you will never ever get to enjoy it.

Oh, I agree. It's a big enough shit show, may as well create some joy where we can.
