I think Andy Gates has given a good answer already, but I'd like to add that I disagree with the statements that you should have more play than work. Though I'd also disagree that you need to have more work than play... You need some work to appreciate the play, and of course to keep you and the world, or rather society as we know it, alive. Of course, you may think that many aspects of society as we know it are not worth keeping going, and I may agree with you - but then we have to ask what will be the effects of most people not working? It may be that some societies with high proportions of retired people have already reached that point.
If you don't do your work, will someone else have to do it? What will happen if no one does it? And do you have something more worthwhile to do, both in terms of satisfaction for yourself and as a contribution to (at the risk of sounding a bit worthy) "making the world a better place"?
