That's a very controversial belief. Most traditional value systems disagree. "He who does not work, shall not eat".
There is also a long-running train of thought that work is essential to the human character and that without it we decay into aimlessness.
- oblio 8y agoI think activity is essential to the human character. We are not far from a point where we don't have to work for food and other basic necessities (though, as usual, the future is here but it's not evenly distributed). We can sort of see it with very rich people. They do stuff even though for many of them their activity adds peanuts to their existing fortune. I'm not talking about the hyper-active, super-ambitious types.
