    In a world where most must sell their time for money to survive, free time is true luxury.

      And some contemptible people who have more free time and resources than they know that do to with - they must focus all efforts on acquiring more resources AND making it harder for others to catch up.

      It would be reason to pity the emptiness of some lives, were they not so destructive.

      • I am not talking about people that find their work or their career fulfilling and keep working hard at it. That’s different than a billionaire who spends millions every year to bust unions and prevent raises to the minimum wage. (Or assassinate whistle blowers, as the case may be)

      You aren’t wrong.

      And many people in the West work longer hours than they need to survive, because they think buying more luxuries and consumer goods will make them happy.

      If you’re in that situation, walk away from the office. Pay yourself in free time instead.
