Work's a way to get what you want, that's it. It's something most people don't like, which is why we spend our weekends and vacations on the couch with a beer instead of doing extra work. It's not an end, and it shouldn't be one of the most important things in your life. Most people's jobs are just some bullshit where they make a bit of money for themselves and a shitload of money for some rich asshole above them. Where's the value in working hard at some stupid office job?

Ever since the rise of Protestantism and the "Protestant work ethic," people have developed this idea that not working all the time is a sin and that you should always be engaged in some productive activity. This is a destructive way of looking on life that makes people neurotic and over-stressed and leaves us with less time for our friends and family.
