  today,thetopiciwannadiscussisaboutworkaholics.

  thereisastoryonmytextbook,unit2,thecompanyman,whichstartslikethis:

  heworkedhimselftodeath,finallyandprecisely,at3am.sundaymorning.

  whenifirstreadthisstory,indeed,itscaredme.butwhatscaredmemost,justafewsecondslater,wasthatirealizedthat,onceuponatime,i,myself,usedtobeaworkaholic.

  andifikeptwalkingdownthatpath,maybeoneday,i’denduplikethatcompanymanwhodiedaloneatatimewhenmostpeopleusuallydonotdie.

  so,ibegantowonder,whydididowhatidid?

  or,whydopeoplebecomeworkaholics?

  even,whydowechoosetowork?

  aftermypainfuldeliberation,(imean,thinkingisalwayssuffering,)hereiwannasharetwodifferentanswerswithyou.

  facedwiththesetwoinsurmountableproblems,firstlydeath,secondlythepossiblemeaninglessnessoflifeitself,thesenseofself-realizationbroughtbyhardworkingcouldbetheonlysolutiontowardsatrulyhappyandmeaningfullife.

  next,answerno.2.
