You shouldn’t be. They’re different from you; get over it.

Sometimes it can be beneficial to the society to understand why some people think the way they do. Everyone is different but not everyone is right. I’m often wrong on many things and people correct me. I’m concerned about their need to get a little bit more money if they don’t have time to profit from it. I guess they don’t know that life can be better with more free time. Or they don’t enjoy free time, but that doesn’t sound healthy.

Are you seriously trying to argue that you know what is best for other people? That vacation time is objectively better than money? That the choice shouldn’t be left up to the individual, but they must take your own preferences over theirs? That is the most idiotic thing I have heard all month.

Very few choices in life are truly entirely up to the individual. Virtually nobody votes for political candidates that offer the ability for individuals to have absolute control over the money they earn or contract terms of the jobs they hold.

Yes, I do think that having slightly more money is not better than having more free time for most people. You will always have a few exceptions and some outliers, but 21% sounds like a lot.

Incomes correlate to happiness, but once you have enough to live happily, it’s perhaps time to enjoy your time left alive.

Of course, if you lack money to live happily, you may be forced to work a lot. But enforced paid vacations don’t sound like a bad deal anyway if you are in such a situation.

We unfortunately can’t let some workaholic ruin life for everyone else. Our societies need a minimal vacation amount because otherwise, there would be too much abuse and social injustice.
