We spend 8 hours sleeping, probably at least 1.5 hours eating, 8 hours working, and around 1 hour commuting to and from work, all of which only leaves us 5.5 hours to actually live, create, or better ourselves at a maximum. It is hard to argue that social lives, self discovery, personal growth, and enjoyment are all so subservient to the 'duty' or 'responsibility' that is work.
We work quite a lot. It is unclear if it maintains any value and represents a good use of time given the amount of time we currently devote to it.
