    I think they’re talking moreso about having anything to do at all, not just work. I think we all agree that work can be a drag. But if I didn’t need to work to make a living, I’d still be doing things - hobbies, learning new things, whatever. I’d rot away if I just sat on the couch watching tv all day everyday, for example.

      Watching TV is not doing nothing, and lots of retired people love sitting and watching TV all day.
