People who regard their job as their no.1 priority in life are sad and insular without a life-true or false?

Answer 1

Who gets to decide what qualifies as "having a life"? What one person sees as boring, stupid etc. may be what another person enjoys the most. And what one person sees as "having a life" can be what another person detests.

I can't be the judge of whether or not other people have a life. Some workaholics actually enjoy their life as it is, so there's no reason for me to think of it as sad.

You just need to make sure to spend your life with people who are on a similar path than you. Don't marry a workaholic if you don't want to be put in second place.

Answer 2

Another new word for me. Insula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Insula is the Latin word for "island".

Insula may also mean:

A Roman building with several stories; the lowest floor was used for shops and the higher for residence (the higher, the cheaper)
Ínsula Barataria, the governorship assigned to Sancho Panza as a prank in the novel Don Quixote
The insular cortex, also known as the insula, a human brain structure


Then are you saying they are a island unto themselves?

Answer 3

True. Where would they be if they lost their job or had to retire? You have to have a balance between work and your real life. Your job is not going to show you any loyalty or companionship.
