Making a living is not the same thing as making a life
The phrase “Making a living is not the same thing as making a life” means that there is a distinction between earning an income to survive (making a living) and living a meaningful, fulfilling life (making a life). This makes sense in the context of us working jobs to provide us a source of income and livelihood. It naturally impacts the quality of our life. However, do jobs define our purpose and existence in life? There’s a school of thought which says that we should love our job. How many people out there actually love their job?
