INSANE I tell you. Insane.

It’s like humans just create work for themselves, work that doesn’t necessarily even need to be done…just to simply fill a void.

Why? Why do we do it? Boredom? Do we like to make life suffer? Do we do it to avoid existential thought and dread? God forbid we think about death!

I get the premise of work, I am not completely anti-work…but what is this reason to WORK so much so to fill our every awake minute with work?

To truly understand this human phenomenon (being obsessed with being busy), we must analyze it with a philosophical and psychological lens.
