Are we too busy to enjoy life?
Without reading the article, I can say yes, yes we are.<p>There are very few exceptions to this depending on your career and mindset. I can say that I enjoyed life a lot during my 8 years in the military, and it had nothing to do with the job ( the job sucked ). It had everything to do with the people. Friendships forged, the understanding involved, the familial bond that came with it. That made me feel happy.<p>After that, normal jobs were just busy work. Which iswhy I&#x27;m happy to say that my current job ( 100% remote ) is much more satisfactory, and not as &quot;busy&quot;. I enjoy life as it is. I lucked out so far.<p>But I will say that while everyone might have different standards of &quot;enjoying life&quot;, the key factor is actually _belonging_ to a family. Doesn&#x27;t mater if that family is blood related, it just needs to be people you fully trust and can do anything with and be completely comfortable with.<p>This is not something that is easily attained, but it can be easier to find if you&#x27;re not working some shit job 10 hours a day every day five days a week with no chance of vacation and no job security.<p>That shit needs to change,a nd the majority of us are slaves to it.
