Work is not a proxy for survival. Sometimes have to take time off work to keep your baby alive. Taking care of the survival of your family isn't work. Changing diapers isn't work. Work is a social relation.

Work is much more than that - it enables you to feed your family. If there wasn’t a service economy and you had to grow or gather your own food, sometimes you would have to choose between changing a diaper and going to find more food.

That’s just what it takes to live, we forget that because of how far removed we are from actual survival. But take away modern society, and the world is much harsher and much less fulfilling.
