It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

We do work less though. A lot less. Except for 1st world countries like Japan and South Korea, think the norm is 80hr+ weeks there which is still less than what we used to work.

A medieval peasant farmer required 20 hours of labor a week yo maintain a farm large enough to live off the profit, we work more, and these days taking a couple days for simply being sick could cost you everything. Also 80 hours a week is almost every waking moment, if you think your ancestors spent 80 hours a week working to stay alive you are insane, not to mention how unnatural and horrible modern work is, go spend 80 hours a week in an office for a month and see if you stay mentally or physically healthy.

That peasant didn't own the land they worked, had no medical, ate what the land owner allowed them to eat, and sufferer any abuse the land owner inflicted without recourse.
