I understand this quote in this way,life and work are something we shouldn't break apart.Everyhitng that we do is looking for a meaning of our lives,work is one of solutions we've founded.But,today work is a synonym to boredom,'cause we've maded it something that we just must do not something we want to,and it's a big mistake.Actually we could say it's a sort of death,because we feel obliged to do something from Monday to Friday,to survive five days,it's a really sad things that we live in such a bad times in meaning of appreciation of this life we live.
