It may have been the case before that people thought hard work brought a better life, but now things have changed

Professor Bobby Duffy worked on the study, and said that millennials have ‘become much more sceptical about prioritising work as they’ve made their way through their career’.

    1. This is why I stopped working for myself (not the best business partner, long story I won’t get into here).

    2. I hope that you find a better way and that you don’t have to resort to that. Suicide will hurt your wife, I have a friend who had her husband shoot himself in the head with a shotgun a few years ago. She’s 74, and while she has her kids and grandkids visit sometimes, she misses him terribly 3 years later. They were married for around 50 years.

    Please, choose a different way.

      Only selfish people ask someone else to suffer longer because they’ll be a little sad without them.

          If you’ve read the post, he has a decent line of illness that will make him incapable of taking care of loved ones, so to ease their burden he will cause sadness instead. Which one is better depends on who you ask. I hate feeling like a burden and I’m sure most people do, but sometimes it’s necessary to stick around, but that is far from always the case.

            I did read the post, and made the emotional appeal to him, based on those nuances. The shallow troll turned it into a digital and binary measurement, rather than the analogue existence we currently enjoy. They just didn’t like that I pointed out how dark their opinion was.

      I appreciate the sentiment in point two. I feel similar when others speak of suicide. In this case I think of this more as death with dignity for the terminally ill. And it’s years away, so don’t lose sleep over me.

      Also, i don’t get the pushback you’ve received for wishing someone will continue to live. It’s a weird hill to die on (heh, puns)

      Anyway, thanks for the kindness and have a good life

        I believe the pushback is the result of simple ignorance on their part and refusing to see nuance. I returned their bellicose nature and the minions hopped on the bandwagon.

        Life and death isn’t so cut and dry, unlike their currently shallow and negative perceptions. I pray that your long term health improves, and that your business prospers so you don’t have to choose that direction.

        In the meantime, live well under the sun.
