People naturally find fulfillment in work. The goal of your life should be to find work that is enjoyable and meaningful. The goal of not working is unfulfilling at best.
Yea, work in and of itself is great. You have to do SOMETHING with your time every day, and doing something productive is extremely satisfying. Filling out spreadsheets for 8 hours with a 2 hour commute then going home to eat instant ramen in a noisy shoebox is slightly less satisfying.
I used to be an engineer for a mega corp, and it was soul crushing. I would walk out of my cube and pace the hall in a kind of existentialist crisis wondering if this is really what life was all about.
My life doesn't have any single goal. I'm an animal, not a machine. I've got a great job but there's literally nothing better than hanging out with my kids.
