Life is filled with work, should I quit?

I believe free time is the true wealth nature has given us. Dedicating time to getting food and enjoying small pleasures is enough to live a good life. I know it’s not always so simple. I’m 52, and I’ve worked my whole life because that’s what I was taught. But then you realize stress rots inside us slowly, and you start feeling its effects. The first symptoms appear, showing us what might become of us. That’s why I decided to slow down and take care of myself. It’s not easy—you need loving people around you, otherwise, it’s harder. Unless you’re a narcissist. 🌼 @wakeupkitty

P.S. I know the contest is over, and this comment might seem out of place, but this morning, I felt like doing something. It’s been months since I wrote anything, and today it came back. I don’t even know why I’m writing this in Xiao’s comment section. I was going to delete it all—but no, Kitty taught me not to. So, hello, have a great weekend, and work to enjoy life!

There's a time for everything and it's enough to be.
Small pleasures are enough if they can be noticed and a creative mind can make them shine.

You are worth to be read. Don't delete your words, you would delete you.
I am super happy with every word of you and proud of you!

I hate stress and try to avoid it. Night shifts only, work at night, no phone calls except work, doorbell switched off. Stress is a killer. Work is just a method to gain what is needed to keep you alive. That's all.
Good to hear from you. I'm not too active so your comment is in time. Deleting a lot?
Have a good time, it's all that counts. Good as in enjoying yourself.

I loathe the heavy tumult that burdens the soul,
O night, sweet companion, sovereign of the whole.
The bell silenced, each vain call left undone,
For work is but the key to breathe beneath the sun.👋
