A response to another bloggers question;
What is a person without work? Can any of us really be alive without a purpose, without a role, an identity?.....The ability to go out to work and feel your contributing to society is something we do not consciously realise we need till your out of work. it gives us a role an identity. We of course benefit from it financially but more importantly emotionally. Sense of self worth, pride, the enjoyment you get when you feel you have earned your day off rather than it just being another date on the calendar. The lottery winner lifestyle is something we all have dreamt of at some point however i wonder how would it affect our feelings of self worth (personal not financial). 24 hours is a long period of time to fill and im sure after a while the out of work millionaire would get bored a lot quicker than we think.
