Working is not bad. God did not put you on earth for no reason.
I have never felt more alive than since I found purpose. Purpose so strong that every step of my life is dedicated to it.

Imagine believing god put you on earth to work your life away.
There is no purpose. You live in a hell realm but you have cognitive dissonance. Everything in this realm is meant to degrade you. An old soul is basically a npc.
Meaningless work is why work itself gets a bad reputation. And there is way too much of it.
