Tonight I'm going to quote, because I don't believe there is a way to say this better:

'The core of his theory is that work is profoundly dignified and unjustly despised. He rebelled against the degradation of work to the level of a commodity and of the worker to the level of an object... To him we owe the idea that is the despair of our times - but here despair is worth more then any hope - that when work is a degradation, it is not life, even though it occupies every moment of life. Who, despite the pretensions of this society, can sleep in it in peace when they know that it derives its mediocre pleasures from the work of a million dead souls.'

- Albert Camus
