First of all, congratulations on reflecting and elaborating on a complicated topic in such a lucid yet effective manner. I appreciate the logical build-up, the style of narration, the manner of presentation, and most of all, the deeper message that life is more than just being a slave to work. It should be a holistic and all-around embodiment of a good balance between work, personal life, and personal aspirations. Your final statement, "invest your time wisely," sums it up well. An excellent attempt to bridge the life-work balance dilemma that is the bane of a fast-paced world.
