These are easy to like answers. They sound right. The truth is ugly and not really useful at all in making any decision: there is no purpose. Let me explain my theory as brief and clear as I can. Humans are not designed to work as individuals but as a whole population. If you judge at the species level it makes the most sense to try and push in every direction available and let natural selection take its course. Is it better hard working than lazy? You get hungry if you don't go out to hunt but it is better to set up traps than to fight animals hands on, or better yet delegate the work to others. We wouldn't have progress in comfort, security, etc without laziness. Laziness is not bad! This applies to all qualities in human nature. A balance is better than any extreme of course, but that balance cannot be deduced intellectually, emotionally, morally, legally, etc. You can only try, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", etc. The right balance changes in time and space, it varies from individual to individual. On top of that there are lessons to be learned from individuals who do take things to extreme. For me it is clear we are doomed to be drones sacrificed in every direction possible to explore by algorithms deeply embedded in our hardware. Any sense of purpose, any rationalization of why our direction is better - an illusion. An useful illusion ofc. If you don't manage to fool yourself jumping off the bridge is the only option.
