Most of the people complain about having to work for a living, instead of enjoying life.But would they really apreciate the freetime as much as they do when they have a job? I would say no, because only doing hard things, not very pleasurable, you can enjoy the ones you like.
I belive that yes, being able to work is a privilege, beacause it gives a sense to your life, makes you feel useful and, also, makes you able to maintain yourself without depending on others.
