"Work-Life Balance" assumes that both can be managed equally. (Or should be)

Let’s call it what it is: It’s not a balance problem. It’s a values problem. Most people don’t want freedom. They want the familiarity of a paycheck. But it's not people's fault. That’s our collective conditioning. And generational fear. And obviously omnipresent exhaustion.
And while we are at it: Why are we balancing Life… with work?
You can’t balance life against a single fragment of it. It’s like saying, “Let me balance the ocean with the boat.” As if life and work are two equal forces on a seesaw. They’re not. One is existence. The other is a role you perform within it.

Work is important , as is paying the bills 😁
But for me it's important that work is just that, it is not all consuming.
And our day is balanced with family, fun and spontaneity.
We work to live, we don't live to work 🥰
@Amanda84 exactly! work to live.. not live to work. Atleast for me too.
