Meaning
This reads as a reminder that paid work is only one part of a full life. It can be taken to mean that time, relationships, purpose, and rest deserve attention too, especially when earning begins to crowd everything else out. It lands when someone is measuring their days only by income, and needs a steadier sense of value.
