When a person spends most of his or her time working a job with little job satisfaction, their life loses meaning. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is an opinion that spending the whole day long 6 days a week at
work
, which does not bring us any satisfaction, affects our purpose of
life
. I somehow agree with
this
opinion because
work
occupies a significant amount of time and if somebody feels unhappy during it, almost their whole
life
is spent in misery.
First
, it is true that the most enjoyable moments of our lives are spent with our friends and families.
However
, our occupation and time spent at
work
play a great part in our well-being and
sense
of fulfilment from
life
.
For instance
, if a person works at a daunting and unaspiring
job
at the end of the day they will feel completely drained and they will not have enough energy for an active
life
apart from their
job
.
Thus
, it is hugely important that
work
is rewarding and brings a
sense
of satisfaction.
Nevertheless
, the
sense
of meaningful
life
depends on a person’s outlook on
life
. Some people approach
life
as a positive experience, while others as a negative one.
That is
why those who have a positive outlook on
life
always have goals and plans for a future even if
work
does not give satisfaction to them.
In contrast
, pessimistic people even having a rewarding
job
can feel frustration and emptiness of
life
.
For instance
, one of my friends always complained about her
job
and lack of purpose in
life
but after a course with a psychologist, she realized that she has a well-paid
job
that makes it possible to purchase whatever she wants and travel and she is satisfied now. In conclusion, I agree that
work
is very important for our
sense
of fulfilment in our lives.
However
, it is not one only factor because a person's state of mind contributes to it as well.
