Current Events > Do jobs give life purpose?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I see so many people wanting to retire and what not but I been on vacation for a couple weeks now since I have enough money. and Im honestly not enjoying it anymore. It gets old after a while and I feel like Im getting lazier and depressed. All I do is smoke, drink and play video games. I fight with the gf a lot more too. Is there any way NOT to fight with your gf? People see conflict and struggle as a bad thing but conflict and struggle makes life less boring.

My job these days is my life. Not by choice. But when you're at work 6pm to 7am, there's no room for life.

Good jobs do, bad jobs don't.

I firmly believe that some sense of accomplishment and work does give fulfillment and especially status in life, but not the case for the majority of jobs, especially white collar gigs.

No, they're just a way to keep yourself from starving to death, getting beaten, raped, robbed, and killed on the streets, and being looked down upon as less than human for refusing to do something that machines will do for us in 50-100 years anyway.

hell no. the way our current world works is why we have so many depressed people, and the 40 hour (or more) work week is a huge factor.

Money does

Absolutely
