Work life addiction

Addiction is a negative behavior. Generally, some forms of it are very shameful in today's culture, such as drug addiction. What is an addiction? It is the inability to stop doing something. Sometimes it can be so powerful that you lose your most valuable asset because you cannot stop. So, it is like a very powerful movement. Once you are on it, you cannot jump off.

Working all the time is a similar behavior. It gives so much dopamine that life without it is dull. But society does not view it as badly as drug addiction. Because you create value through work, a kind of value that is impossible to achieve through normal work.

Both sacrifice something to achieve something abnormal.

My dad is a work addict. I was angry at him secretly. He lost me. Now I think about the value of normal family life that he was supposed to maintain to avoid achieving so much in his life. I cannot do the same; I care about others, or probably to put it better, I care because I did not want to be him.

Now everything has changed. He thinks he did wrong, and I think he did right.
