When asked to choose between a life without work and working most of the time, people would always choose not to work.
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Some view that if people were asked whether they would rather spend most of their time working or not work at all, they would invariably opt for the latter. Despite the comfort of not having to work anymore, I disagree with this view due to two clear reasons why most would still choose to toil.
One factor why people would choose to work is that, for many, their profession is a premise to exercise their talents and interests. In other words, people cannot simply quit working at the expense of never having to do what they love because their job is their daily dose of social contribution and self-expression, just as our bodies would rather choose to eat too much than never eat whatsoever. Whatever domain they may be in, they see work as a way to continuously hone their skills and stay mentally active. For instance, an artist or a performer of any kind might never quit creating as they went into the entertainment business motivated by their passion, whether to paint, act, dance or sing.
Another reason is financial stability. Most people would work excessively rather than never work again given that they simply want to improve their financial capacity. That is, even if never going to work guaranteed all our basic needs such as food and shelter, we are intrinsically programmed to explore the world, grow professionally in our fields and, perhaps, leave our legacy. Without work, none of these would be achievable, leaving many in the realm of an aimless life without any meaningful contribution to their society.
Some who do choose not to work for the rest of their lives probably see convenience of avoiding physical and mental strain. This, surely, enables sufficient time to spend with their family members with whom they can interact to better bond while carrying out a variety of shared activities. They might also argue that their choice could give them extended time to do what they love, considering that some actually do the jobs they despise to merely sustain themselves. However, I still believe that most would not live without work for the fact that it could inevitably lead to social collapse as we live off of each other’s effort.
In conclusion, I disagree that majority of active employees would prefer not working at all as it might deprive them of their opportunities to express their talents and constantly prosper as a professional as well as hinder their financial welfare. That people would choose to never work is probably true for a very small minority as a massive quitting would lead to dire social consequences.
