Imagine all your basic needs are covered: housing, food, healthcare, and so on. You don't need to work for a living anymore. What would you do with your time?

I know this might sound like a bit of a dreamy question, but it's been on my mind lately, especially as I see so many people working tirelessly day and night. Perhaps it's time for us to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

While I understand the sentiment, there are a lot of jobs out there that are necessary but no one wants to do. If no one had to work society would fall apart. At least at this point in time. Maybe it we ever make it to the startrek universe with boundless energy, replictors, medical devices that just cure you.
