Do we live to work or work to live . Even the mother is taken away from the child to work because work now defines the person .?

The life we live has been designedaround work as though humans were designed like donkeys . The economic system says we must work but technology replaces man with machine .Machine produces but does not consume man gets no wages because he does not work any one else see where this is going ? They are even raising the retirement age to suit the economic system , rather than lowering it to suit the technology . Is this because those who rule us believe man must work he has no other purpose ? I say the purpose of life is enjoy it not be a slave

    Hard to enjoy life with no money, trust me. We've worked long and hard and save to enjoy the travels we go on and the trips out of town or the gifts we are able to give to others. Work nor position defines who you are, your character defined that part of your life, don't be caught up in societal status okay. Trust me sooner or later someone will look down on you for whatever their reason as in Biblical, man doesn't eat if he won't work, that applies to women who are not working but if she's a housewife she is working.
