Also, read "the God who is there" and "He is there and not silent" by Francis Schaeffer.

Thanks Arthur. Actually I was looking for answers along the lines of "I collect stamps on weekends--it keeps me motivated during the week." Or maybe "I found a job I love. Every day is play for me."
What makes you think people tolerate it? I go to school 5 days a week for 7-8 hours a day, but not by choice. I do it because if I don't go, my parents get sent away for 'neglegance,' or I get put into juvenile jail.
If I didn't have to go to school, I'd imagine I'd be a writer almost right around now. The meaning of life...there's a million different answers out there. I have been having arguments with myself over what it could be. Up until now, it's all been disappointing in what I've found, though. You should do some research on existentialism.

Bill Gates problay works 7 days a week. When you do what you love, it's not work.
