Only an idiot would waste their life on performing mostly repetitive tasks they are at best bored by or dislike, we work because we have too to survive, that's the only reason, if you take away that incentive/punishment then a person who carried on working for no reason would have to be soft in the head, that's not lazy that's just common sense, you have a limited life span, you don't stay married to a woman who makes your life a misery, thats not being lazy its being sensible, work is no different

I think it depends on the person. I think some people subconsciously look forward the monotony of work, and having a certain routine they follow on a daily basis, and then look forward to the pay cheques afterwards for a job well done. It can also help heighten the enjoyment of time off work, because it makes the weekend or vacation time something to look forward to.
I've talked to people who've retired, and oftentimes, that's the thing they miss. They feel like there's no real sense of purpose anymore, and that all the free time they now have isn't as satisfying to have, since they now get unlimited amounts of it.
Again, not saying that's everyone, but definitely is true for some people.
