We perform work to bind wisdom to our hearts.

This phrase is my antidote to my own apathy. When other people who have said that time is money, when the perceived greed of others has harmed us, laziness seems like the pinnacle of virtue. All of us need to rest, but excessive laziness is a highway to a life where you feel like hot coals are being pressed to your forehead every moment of every day.
 
I’ve accepted that I’m always gonna hate work no matter what it is, because I just hate having obligations. So my goal has been to minimize as much of the extra misery as I can.
 
Some special few are destined to do great things, but most people would be happy pounding sand, tilling a field, or working at a factory. Millennials and their “love where you work” hashtag shit are coping hard.
 
Work is OK but you have to decide on what you're working for. Work grants security and frugality keeps it but what pleses people is variable. Some people like seeing the number go up but others are more suited to just build enough to please their impulses.
 
I've had some jobs I liked, but the pay wasn't great and the upward mobility non existent. I've had jobs that I really loved, but they don't last. Everything in between was fuck this shit but if I don't I'll be homeless.

I hate work. It seems like most of my co-workers are fat and socially retarded and my bosses just pile more work on me, while pushing progressive nonsense.

I'm a miracle worker though, I'm extremely fit, smart, and have great social skills. I've worked 16 hour days on cool entertainment projects and find it relaxing.
 
Work is intrinsically necessary to the human experience. If I hate the thing I spend the majority of my time on, I hate myself. I'd rather be homeless than working a bugman pod job.

Work is a good thing. Even shitty demeaning work can be good for the soul in the right dose, but there is something to be said for Marx's concept of worker alienation. Used to be, even if was growing grain for hammurabi, it was still your food too. Nowadays things are too abstracted and it's hard to say you're doing your part when you work for McDonald's and actively participating in bringing society down. You're still a big shitter if you don't work, but sometimes I don't blame the pillheads and welfare recipients, knowing that the most they'd get out of trying is equally shitty housing and food, but with fulltime devoted to burger.
 
Was allowed and expected to use my brains in my military assignments, and so enjoyed most of them. The opposite was true in most of the civilian jobs I did after retiring from the service. In all but one job, they didn't really like any idea they didn't come up with. Most civilian jobs are hardly worth doing except for the paycheck.

I'm perfectly fine with work as long as it isn't time limited bullshit. Absurdly time limited work is the absolute worst and will ruin your life.
