"Being productive makes people happy and gives life meaning."

Working for somebody else adds absolutly no meaning to life. At least for me. I feel sorry for you if that's the only way you can add meaning to your life.

[Friedrich Hayek]

Working for somebody else adds absolutly no meaning to life.

That depends entirely upon what you like to do. I can't build and fly jet aircraft on my own.

But who said anything about working for somebody else? The self employed work more hours than anyone else.
