English

Do we live to work or work to live?

Working is an important part of living for everyone, to work you need to study and have knowledge. For me personally I think that we work to live, as a teen it’s easier because you need to study for then working, but after you’re smart and mature enough you have to work. There are many reasons to work but the most important ones in my opinion are — 1) Living. To live a proper and healthy life we need food, clothes, water, electricity for heating etc. and more. To get all that we need money, and to get money we have to work. If we don’t work money will eventually run out if you are not provided by anyone and soon or never clothes will be dirty and incapable of wearing. Food and water will run out, without water humans can last barely 3 days. No work leads to no money which leads to death unless you have providing or source of money that you get off without any works which I highly doubt. Especially if you have no close people, job is a must for living.
