Why do we work so hard?

well, why debate if anyone else "gives a damn". of course people do and don't at the same time. but the fact that you should place so much importance on what someone else thinks is a bad sign. place faith in yourself. work all your life for what? whatever you want. don't work at all. be happy. whether that means working all your life to provide better for your kids or barely making 20 k a year to get by and be in bliss. to each their own.
