The reason why some or most people crave for work all the time, remain busy all the time and work hard all the time is that they don't know how to enjoy the emptiness of mind.

They fear that if they stop, they will fail. Life is not about winning or failing. It's only about enjoying life in its entirety. People just get restless when they don't have anything to do. They must find something to do otherwise it will drive them insane. And it's because they learn almost everything about their work but they never seek to learn how to enjoy life.

You will always find plenty of work but you will never find same loving relationships, same loving people and same awesome moments. If you don't value what you have now and try to cover yourself with the blanket of work, then when your time here starts to come to an end you will take nothing with you except grief, sorrow, pain and lifelessness.

I read somewhere; the biggest loss is when the life inside of you dies while you are still alive.
