Does anybody else think it’s weird how we just accept that work takes up most of our lives?

Like, we’re born, we go to school, and then we’re expected to work 40+ hours a week until we’re too old to enjoy life. And everyone just accepts this as “normal”?

I get that we need money, but why do we all just go along with a system where we spend most of our waking hours working just to afford the basics? Wouldn’t it make more sense for society to prioritise more free time, hobbies, travel, or just… living?

I’m not saying “nobody should work,” but isn’t it strange that technology has advanced so much, yet most of us still live as if we’re in a 9-to-5 factory system from the 1800s?
