Working hard is to make life more bearable while waiting to die.

please. you don't work hard that long. half the time at work , people are playing hp, laughing talking , etc.

and before and after work you are enjoying life. weekends also enjoy. leave also enjoy.

actually work 40+ hrs out per week is like doing real work for 20+ . the rest is waste time at work.

why work so hard?

example work hard 50 years, then enjoy 20 years then mati late.

or work hard 30 years, enjoy 20 years. then mati earlier. means no need work hard extra 20 years?

this logic ok?

So what type are you? I hope you are not those jobless people here saying feng liang hua. :o

But you can always choose when you want to mati

Just like how mothers can choose which day they want their child to be born
Euthanise is not yet legal in SG, that would be a good solution to end with dignity & without pain

And what is the gratification of sensual pleasures? There are these five kinds of sensual stimulation. What five? Sights known by the eye, which are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. Sounds known by the ear … Smells known by the nose … Tastes known by the tongue … Touches known by the body, which are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. These are the five kinds of sensual stimulation. The pleasure and happiness that arise from these five kinds of sensual stimulation: this is the gratification of sensual pleasures.

And what is the drawback of sensual pleasures? It’s when a gentleman earns a living by means such as arithmetic, accounting, calculating, farming, trade, raising cattle, archery, government service, or one of the professions. But they must face cold and heat, being hurt by the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, and reptiles, and risking death from hunger and thirst. This is a drawback of sensual pleasures apparent in the present life, a mass of suffering caused by sensual pleasures.

That gentleman might try hard, strive, and make an effort, but fail to earn any money. If this happens, they sorrow and wail and lament, beating their breast and falling into confusion, saying: ‘Oh, my hard work is wasted. My efforts are fruitless!’ This too is a drawback of sensual pleasures apparent in the present life, a mass of suffering caused by sensual pleasures.

That gentleman might try hard, strive, and make an effort, and succeed in earning money. But they experience pain and sadness when they try to protect it, thinking: ‘How can I prevent my wealth from being taken by rulers or bandits, consumed by fire, swept away by flood, or taken by unloved heirs?’ And even though they protect it and ward it, rulers or bandits take it, or fire consumes it, or flood sweeps it away, or unloved heirs take it. They sorrow and wail and lament, beating their breast and falling into confusion: ‘What once was mine is gone.’ This too is a drawback of sensual pleasures apparent in the present life, a mass of suffering caused by sensual pleasures.

This is why people are starting to live minimally or even straight out lie flat.

Like, there's no point to life. Everyone will eventually die, why bother having lived (and suffered a lifetime) for nothing?
