Working for a Living OR Living for Work???

It's Sunday morning. Sunday's used to be such a laid back day, but now it seems just as busy as any other day of the week. I have to do so much on the weekends to keep up the rest of the week, Sunday has become a day of work not a day of rest. There is definately something wrong with our society that we are so busy we can't take one day out of the week for rest. I hear that Americans work on the average 60 hours a week.
Some work more than that! We just don't know how to have a relaxing weekend anymore cause we are just too busy. I know I worked this weekend and I'm pretty sure I was not alone. What happened to the days when work was over at 5pm on Friday and didn't start back up again until Monday morning? Now we are working longer days and even into the weekend. Is it that important that we need to take away from our personal lives?
What if we all just stopped doing it? Everyone in the US just take a break and work only 40 hours in one week. Just to see what would happen. I bet half the people would freak out, not because they would get behind at work, but because they wouldn't know what to do with themselves with all that extra time.
