Thread: To work hard or to slack off..

How much of your life do YOU wanna spend working?

Is it better to relax and enjoy life, or dedicate yourself to something constructive?

The single biggest regret old people have on there death beds is that they worked too hard.

Have you worked hard and gotten nowhere? Would you recommend something else?

Work enough to provide myself a decent living but with enough time to spend with family.

So you have something to back up this assertion?
Silly question, of course you don't.

I like working and I hate lazy dirtbags on the dole.

Do you work between posts or post between work?

Sorry. As an old person your assertion that working too hard is the biggest regret is bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

How much of your life to you want to leech off someone else?

I enjoyed working but I reached a point, after 40 years, where I didn't enjoy it any longer so I quit. A lot of old farts I meet now regret never having worked because, cause what, they don't get Social Security or a pension. Their theme song is, "It Isn't Fair." I think it's emminently fair. One of the deadbeats will stick his bony nose in the air and announce, "I worked my whole life for the revoluti8on." Wonderful. Now they can supprt your worthelss ass. Of course, they won't. The liberals will take what I've saved and give it to you.

'Better to wear out than rust out'. He came close..

We're retired from our 'other' jobs..and yet we bought a small farm and raise beef cattle..have a garden..and tinker around here..People think we're crazy..but we have a reason to get up in the morning and something to think about other than ourselves..Also, we don't drive our children and grandchildren nuts..

Ideally, I suppose you could do both, if you worked at something you enjoy and find real purpose in.

This is one my logical problems with capitalism, though. You end up with a bunch of people doing things that other people didn't want to do in the first place, rather than doing what they would choose to be doing if they didn't constantly have to be chasing after an eternally-dwindling resource.

You used to be able to motivate people to work themselves to death by suggesting that if they made that sacrifice, at least their kids would be better off. But now it's like the harder you work, the more you're benefiting the people that will be making your kids' lives a living hell to the best of their ability. I think the working class has really started to feel like captured slaves working in a munitions plant, making weapons that they know will be used to capture more slaves.

I guess I kind of go with the smurf theory of labor. Everybody's got something they can do, something that helps to define them as a person, and what their purpose in life is. They shouldn't be forced or manipulated or leveraged into spending all of their time doing something else. I honestly think that if we just let each other do whatever it is that we would choose to do, everything that needs to be done would be done. Maybe that's a little optimistic but I think it would be a fun experiment.
