Work is a necessary part of life. Some like work, but others don’t.
Work and identity
Sigmund Freud rationalized why people get so attached to work. He said, ” … work at least gives people a secure place in a portion of reality, in the human community.”
Melvin Maddocks wrote, “A man’s work is his dilemma, his job is his bondage, but it also gives him a fair share of his identity and keeps him from being a bystander in somebody else’s world.”

Truly, people find their identity through work. They are what they do. Ask an engineer, architect, doctor, lawyer, lawmaker, bricklayer, caregiver, etc. Working people associate and identify themselves with their work to an exceptional degree. When their work goes awry, so does their life.
There’s more to life than work.
