You have it all backwards. Not working if you can avoid it isn't lazy but completely sensical. Holiday and leisure time shouldn't even be considered a break from work - instead working should be considered a break from living ... Having said that I believe work and life can go hand in hand very healthily. The reality though is different. Work is for most people just financially compensated abuse.

That's exactly it. If you don't have to work, you shouldn't. The idea that hard work and endless toil is some sort of virtue that gives life meaning and is necessary for a strong, moral character... is just puritanical garbage. The long-term goal of humanity should be an end to scarcity, and automation of everything possible. No one should have to work to live comfortably, though people should be able to choose to work if they enjoy it.
