11. Hm. I don't know. Sorta, yeah
Hell...I thought people work to live, they don't live to work. Maybe I got that wrong. If its the former, and you work until you can retire and have a pensions, well fuck, its time to go build bird houses if you have free time.

I don't know. I guess I don't get it. There are a gazillion things Id do if I had a pension and resources, other than take part in an economic machine that Id only join just to get those things. And pair that sentiment with the notion that some people have no work at all...

I guess its different strokes for different folks. But, its a great time to ask "why do we 'work'?". When is it enough? Are you merely doing it for the activity of the work, not the reward? If so, is there another more enjoyable activity?

Life is an odd thing, ya know. Some just hop on board, and some ask where the fuck its all heading.
