I recognize that you're being sincere, and I don't mean to offend, but why would you tie meaning in your life to your labor?
Work time is labor time for me, and any amount of it is actively detracting from me being able to pursue the things that I do think have meaning.
The more time work takes, the less time I have for things that are meaningful, practically by definition.
Tying any sense of meaning or purpose to employment would seem to put the worker in an emotionally precarious position without any obvious benefit.
When I stop requiring additional funds, I'll stop going to work.
What am I missing?
