there's nothing inherently bad about working hard. I do think the default american perspective on hard work is a toxic one; it seems to be an intrinsic value unto itself. a visibly hard worker commands respect irrespective of what that work is. I find that people are often baffled by the idea that someone be genuinely satisfied with their current material wealth.
