“Working for money instead of passion is spiritual death”
Agree
- Life's too short for soulless corporate existence
- You become what you practice daily
- Deathbed regrets are about unlived authentic lives
- Passion creates meaning money never can
Disagree
- Romanticizing poverty is privileged nonsense
- Work funds passion outside of career
- Most passions don't sustain livelihoods realistically
- Security enables creativity not destroys it
