Work is something that most people do not have a coherent understanding of. Work for most means earning a salary, but what we actually need to have a good quality of life, is something most people do not think about. Still others, want to control what kind of a quality of life others have. More people spend more effort at trying to send others ill will, than they do working, than we can imagine. Even self diagnosis, of our attitudes and perceptions, is something that is out of most people’s wheelhouse. The nature of most commerce, is in finding a solution to a man made problem. For example medicare, or pharmaceutical, is not interested in the cure, (there is no money in the cure) but rather in profiteering, and although poor quality food and lifestyle is the main culprit in most of our diseases, again there is no money in the cure, people for the most part are working hard to find ways to profit from the insanity in the world - and why? well it is not because they did any homework or thinking on the topic of what makes life worth living, or what constitutes a good quality of life. Our mental health, depends on us having well thought out axioms to base our behaviour on, but again, as I stated at the start, most people do not have a coherent understanding or comprehension of what work actually curtails. When people start to give the same respect to themselves, as people who work at living coherent lives, then people might have a higher regard to the ethics involved in keeping sanity in the workplace.

大多數人對工作都沒有一個連貫的理解。對於大多數人來説，工作意味着掙到薪水，但我們真正需要的是過上高質量的生活，這是大多數人沒有想到的。還有一些人，想要控制別人的生活質量。更多的人花更多的精力試圖給別人帶來惡意，這比他們所做的工作還多，比我們想象的要多。甚至對我們的態度和認知進行自我診斷，也是大多數人所不擅長的。大多數商業活動的本質是為人為的問題尋找解決方案。例如，醫療保險或製藥公司對治療不感興趣(治療中沒有錢)，而是為了牟取暴利，儘管劣質的食物和生活方式是我們大多數疾病的罪魁禍首，再説一遍，治療中沒有錢，大多數人都在努力尋找從世界瘋狂獲利的方法-為什麼呢？這並不是因為他們做了任何功課或思考了什麼讓生命有價值，或者什麼構成了良好的生活質量。我們的心理健康，取決於我們是否有深思熟慮的公理來作為我們行為的基礎，但是，正如我在開始時所説的，大多數人對工作實際上限制了什麼並沒有一個連貫的認識或理解。當人們開始像那些過着有條理的生活的人一樣尊重自己時，人們可能會更加重視在工作場所為涉及的道德規範保持理智。

You literally do not have to work so much, and it’s not to “Make society function” at all. It’s for your own personal choices beyond a certain poinit.

你不需要工作太多，這根本不是為了“讓社會運轉”這是為了你自己的個人選擇。

You have to work some of course; you need food, shelter, clothing…but none of us “have to” have a lot of things we in our society think of as necessary. Literally billions of people on the planet live perfectly acceptable lives with far less.

當然，你得做一些工作;你需要食物、住所、衣服……但在我們的社會中，沒有人“必須”擁有很多我們認為是必要的東西。實際上，地球上數十億人過着完全可以接受的生活。

We choose to work in an amount that we project will support the stuff we want to have beyond subsistence.

我們選擇一定量的工作，我們的計劃將支持我們在維持生計之外想要的東西。。

There’s nothing wrong with that. I’m a big fan of air conditioning, partially pre-made food, a TV, not having ten roommates…whatever…

這沒什麼不對的。我喜歡空調，喜歡半熟的食物，喜歡看電視，喜歡沒有十個室友…諸如此類…

But my grandparents lived civilized middle class American lives without even knowing any of those tech things existed, and they worked a lot more than I do, and they lived with their large families in much smaller homes that I now live in with just four of us.

但我的祖父母過着文明的美國中產階級生活，他們甚至不知道這些技術的存在，他們工作的時間比我多得多，他們和他們的大家庭住在小得多的房子裏，現在的我只有四個人和我住在一塊。

Even I’ve personally lived three months in a tent. Saved a ton of money.

就連我自己也在帳篷裏住了三個月。省了一大筆錢。

The one thing that we (IMHO) have to work too hard for is health care, but under our “system” (?) even that is “optional”.

有一件我們(依我之見)不得不努力工作的目的，那就是醫療保健，但在我們的“體系”(?)下，甚至這也是“可選的”。

Well, for start, you don’t work for one-third of your lives.

首先，你沒有三分之一的生命在工作。

If you work eight hours a day, five days a week, that’s 40 hours out of 168 - less than 25%.

如果你每天工作8小時，一週工作5天，那就是168個小時中的40個小時，少於25%。

Now, you also get vacation days. And you only work for about 40–45 years of your (on average) 72 years or so.

現在，你還有假期。在你(平均)72年左右的時間裏，你只工作40-45年。

So …

所以……
