I've always been partial to Voltaire's thought on the matter: "Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need."

Even if I had more time during the day to to whatever I pleased, I doubt I'd have the money to do anything interesting. I'd probably end up programming or working on something, which I might as well get paid to do.

I'd certainly rather program than maintain a garden. But I can understand why that's not true for everyone.

Work does not mean that you have to make others rich, however. You could work only to be saved from those evil and still get something in exchange, that isn't making the other party "get much more than you do".

For that we would probably need the biggest revolution we've ever known (thats not happening)

Exactly. I find programming relaxing (when working on projects I want), so If I wasn't working I would be doing that because I couldn't afford to really do anything else.

I also couldn't afford to do anything, probably couldn't afford internet at home either so I would be stuck.

Best of luck not working and instead doing whatever you like.
