How do people convince themselves to go through the torture?

If there is God - I wonder what he's trying to tell me?
Was able to get a comfy remote job while not having a degree for it.
The only problem now is when I had to come in for paperwork that can't be done remotely.
I plan these events monts before to lose weight, eat healthy for a bit to not look like I've been rotting away at home alonelike I actually did.

There are nice comfy jobs out there, but it's usually stuff that most people wouldn't be good at. I'm personally planning on becoming an Actuary, which from what I've read about it sounds like a very comfy job, and it's pretty easy if you're good at math.
Do you have to die? Is that the only way? Of you don't mentally prepare for the worst are you not always vulnerable to it? Sometimes it boggles my mind that people can fly planes even though I long for death.
Would a lack of work make you too soft? You have to work to live, to a degree. You have to feed yourself and keep yourself warm. Such is life. I also wonder if I'll get bored of this "freedom." will I want productivity or proficiency in a skill or hobby.
Why does it bother us so much now? Is it because we were unaware growing up? As a kid we were carefree but until being a teenager we still had school. Then we got more homework. Then some of us did sports or others got jobs and got a taste for adult life. Now you work almost half your time and some of you go to school so you can work more and soon you might have no time. Do you die? If all you do is work how are you distinguishable from an automaton?

Why live if it is mostly work? You aren't doing anything. Sure you might be benefiting someone else or pushing more boxes, but rarely anything really for oneself. What if you don't work? You aren't doing anything? Why live if you don't work? You don't add or contribute anything? Is it finding a work that doesn't completely disinterest you?
Is the work life jarring because we were taken care of as kids, rather than fending for ourselves and realising how time consuming and laborious beating the elements can be? Think of it like an extrapolation of a farmer, if he doesn't plant he starves. Plain and simple. Jobs now are a more abstract version of that? It is so because now that most of us don't work the land but fend for ourselves by having marketable skills?
What are your thoughts anons?
How do you deal with it?

there's pretty much nobody who doesn't like doing stuff which has a productive end of some sort, if for nothing else than self esteem. it feels good to set a goal and then meet it, that's universal.
thing is, there's a big difference between how much we have to work to feed ourselves and how much we would work if work was never necessary to live. i mean, i'm sure trust fund kiddies do something with their lives, they just do it on their own terms and probably for fewer total hours per week.
there's also probably significant diversion between what people want to work on and what, for the most part, we end up working on. i think few people truly love their work.

That difference is true. I do think we work too much, however we have to be prepared to live that life. If you can't enjoy your work I can't really think of any way to deal with that aside from trying to retire asap or engrossing yourself in hobbies when you get done or have something to look forward to.
Where all my NEETs at?
You know who you be

What's up my n****

I'm unironically making tendies right now. Gonna get some sweet baby rays and enjoy a YouTube video

its because we are in the beginning of humanity.
in the future, there will be more choices, and some of them will probably be ok. like employee on a spaceship.
Well we can't all work for ourselves, we need teamwork to accomplish anything of worth. Maybe not anything of worth, but it makes sense for two or 100 heads to be better than one.
