Man has been and is a social animal who developed language and communication to express himself to others in order to sustain a clan which he calls his family and a community which he calls his friends. When we are kids we all want to make lot of friends and please people in our family. As we reach our teens, the effect of family is replaced by the peers and friends and this continues till a later stage for many. We all like to be popular and loved but for many of us the rat race for money and fame becomes more important.
Some people work for 8 hours , some for 10 hours and some people work endlessly 24X7.
These endlessly working people are the workaholics who really don't know how to bridge a line between when to stop working. Its not that they don't know there is a problem. But they fail to sustain their focus on the solutions. Sermon a workaholic on the disadvantages on health and society and what you end up getting is a bored look and a big silence . The sermon goes the same way as water goes on a duck's back .
Health is the biggest sufferer and so is the peace of mind. There are thousand of things said that would be and should be done but then work does something magical and they are put off for another time. These people appreciate the efforts of others to forgive their busy behavior and schedules but then its good to forgive once or may be twice not multiple times.
No medication available till this date for the treatment of a workaholic but I am sure there would be many midst us who need to sit down and think once in a while... they need to stop some times or else the loneliness and the bad health will take up their toll.
