workaholics

When reading about work, and how a lot of people do not like it, it made me think about those who work all of the time. Do they work because they love their job? Do they work because they love to be busy? Do they work because they have nothing better to do? Or do they work because they just love to make and have money?
I think that it could be all of that. However i do feel as though the main reason why someone would want to work a lot is because they just love to make money, and success. Who does not like that? There are just some people who cannot get enough of it.
It is really sad though that there are people who live to work. My father did that and it hurt our family because we would hardly ever see him, and it was sad for us. It is like that for a lot of other families too, and that is why it makes me wonder if working a lot is really worth it in the long run if that is all that you do, and you never see the ones that you love, and love you?

A sad story. Sometimes, work is in many respects easier than other aspects of our lives, and so inclines us to become, in order to avoid the real work of homelife, "workaholics."
