If You Think Free Money Kills Work Ethic, Your Definition of “Work” Is Horrible

I don't think this author has articulated their point well. If they have, then their point is poorly reasoned and considered.

BUT

  If you think someone who works for the sake of money is
  a "horrible" person

This is not, at all, in the article. The author's thesis is that "money is motivation for work" is a horrific definition of work. Not that the people who hold that view, or the people who are motivated to work for money, are horrible people.

You are right, I have made a mistake on my part.

But I still think when it comes to this article this should not be up-voted to the front, the main argument in this article is just fundamentally wrong. I feel the author is in a bubble and has no idea what so many people around the world have to go through, and that not everyone is lucky enough to work on things they love.
