Work/ Life = 1?
By Mrs. Sisyphus, November 15, 2013
Are you aware that a term, “workaholic” entered to the dictionary in past 20 years? The term, itself explains how terrifying it is. It comes from work and alcoholic and we should all understand that being workaholic is a bad addiction like alcohol. Yes, I think it is an addiction since most of the people spend most of their time working.
I guess spending 24 hours in work is madness. You can say, “Bullshit, who spends 24 hours at work, it is nonsense”. Well, it is what my husband does. This “human being” pushes an ordinary rock up the hill and rolls it back to push it again. He doesn’t even stop to eat, drink or talk to me! He neglects me all the time and we can’t spend a second face to face, no romanticism.
Work, work, work. Even the pronunciation of work disgusts me now. This “rk” sound is such an annoying sound. It is so aggressive and harsh that even hearing reminds me of my husband and I start to hate it.
Do you know what he says? “Think of the perks” and I get completely crazy. What is the point of all extra money if you don’t have time to spend it with your family? You cannot save your money and spend it afterlife so it would be better to have fun with it while you can.
After a time, people start to make fun of all workaholics. They think same as me, this is so pointless. All that work, all humans do is for nothing. They are putting effort to get a salary which you can buy so-called luxurious stuff. However, what we all need to know is to learn to be happy, to live with what you have and to try to extend your limits.
There is a balance in everything. Even wild animals don’t work 7/24. When they find enough food to live; they literally stop. They don’t work anymore because those animals are able to understand what they need. It is obvious that they are better than us in their lives. They play with their friends, run in fields; at least they seem to be having fun. On the other hand, 21th century’s
