come on now.

so even if you're right, checking out emotionally and spiritually just means more life lived. That ain't some kind of bad thing.

life is good sometimes. hard sometimes. and it's long sometimes, so give people a break.

> checking out emotionally and spiritually just means more life lived

What exactly about checking out makes it 'more living'? I sense a false dichotomy here

[apsurd]

easy: we all need breaks. breaks are not bad. living doesn't only mean "doing actions"

I don't think OP argued for any type of relentless work.
