Imagine a world without work!

Imagine a world where we have invented robots who can do everything (like the movie Will Smith in "I, Robot" ). Wouldn't that means we do not need to work? How would you live in a world like that?

Robots will be doing everything for us. From the basic necessities such as food and shelters, we have robots ploughing the fields and constructing the buildings. When you have food for everyday and a shelter to sleep in, you basically can live your life without money.

Would the concept of money be redundant? Would work be redundant? What would happen to humanity? Would we cease to work? Slack at home the whole day, waiting for food to feed us and delegating every work to robots?

I highly doubt so. Currently, working is a necessity for most of the people in the world as we need to get paid to feed ourselves. With the robots, work is no longer a necessity but a choice. Most people would probably think, "Wow, I don't have to work anymore! Let's go have fun everyday!". However, after some time, one will definitely question the meaning of life - the meaning of one's existence.

This will lead to a point where one will search for the meaning of one's existence and eventually, ended in working for it. However, at this point, the work is no longer a job. It's a calling.

Linking the imaginative conclusion back to current life, can't we make our current job from a necessity to a calling? what's the difference? there may not be any difference in the appearance of the job or what we do in the job, but the motivation, the intent, the reason behind it is totally different.

You see, there is no difference in doing the job/work that we are doing now. Be it a necessity or choice, we will all engage our time in doing things that we want to pursue. Live your life the way you want to live.
