    My brother and I were both worried about our workaholic father when he was about to retire. He made so many projects for himself (genealogy of our family, writing a book, building a mechanical prototype, etc) that he always said he had not enough time in a day.

        “Working” for yourself is radically different from being used (aka employed) by someone else.

        Nobody actually wants to serve some master for food until the day that they die.

          My point is working seems to allow for a longer life vs those who sit on a couch when they retire
