@drahardja there are so many questions that come to my mind because of this.

Why the priority of this person was work on top of family, friends, social life…

Was this person raised in a culture that puts work as the top priority and most importantly as the only way to achieve personal development and success?

Probably this person though he was doing the right thing based on what he was taught to.

I was raised in a culture where work is a necessary evil.
