That's a personal matter. Inside our brain we have two sides - the more primitive brain that just needs safety/food/reproduction/entertainment and the more advanced side that needs to plan and do stuff otherwise it questions it's existence.
People have a different balance of either, so some are happy with just living while others need to do something, anything beyond the basics.
Neither is wrong from a personal point of view - if it makes you happy/fulfilled, that's it.
From a societal perspective those whose primitive brain has more control are seen as useless, however.
