Is that progress?

"Do we work to live or we live to work?": that was the core of the debate held in class yesterday. Although there were several different opinions concerning such this topic, I think only one of them is worth of being takeing into account. I'm referring to the widespread inability of the us human beings to take time for ourselves and our family or friends. In other words, I believe our society has totally lost the control it by forgetting the actual scope of life. By now it exists It seems that today, only one word exists, "growth", and we all are only everybody is focused on working, earning, producing and so on. Consequentely, little by little, there is no longer any time to stop thinking about our crazy behaviour and to recognize that the so-called "progress" actually is nothing else but a regression.

Moreover, I understand that whereas during the past centuries the endless and restless work was necessary for the survival, the huge technological progress nowadays allows us to spend more time for leisure activities. This should be the logical consequence! However, by contrast, we work harder than ever before only in order to produce things which are completely useless!

"Do we work to live or do we live to work?" That was the core of the debate held in class yesterday. Although, there were several different opinions concerning this topic I think only one of them is worth  being taken into account.I'm referring to the widespread of the inability that we humanbeings have in that we don't take time off for ourselves, for our family and/or friends. (Since you use the word "ourselves" you are including yourself so you have to use "we" instead of "of the human beings) In other words, I believe that our society has totally lost the control of taking time off by forgetting the actual scope of life. Only one word is use to describe such thing, say, "growth", because we are only focus on working, earning, producing and so on. Consequentely, little by little there is no longer time to stop thinking about our crazy behaviour and to recognize that the so-called "progress" actually is nothing else but a regression.
Moreover, I understand that whereas during the past centuries the endless and restless work was necessary for the survival, nowadays the huge technological progress would allow us to save more time to spend in leisure activities. This should be the logical consequence! By contrast, we work harder than before only in order to produce things which are completely useless!
