No. We have been made to live .
Nothing more, nothing less. Just live. Food is really the only true necessity on this list. Unless you meant "shelter" as opposed to the more traditional sense of the word house.
And I wouldn't consider gathering food to be "work". That sounds more fun to me. Same goes for maintaining a shelter. Those things are fun.

Well, I can't work since I have a mental disorder.
Get the <beep> out of my life with your "we", which is an idea in your mind.
Now I can live if I get help but I can't live on my own and again, I can't work.

You don't have to walk, work, to your next medicamentation? No offence btw, just a remark.
Exactly. This is self-evident whether there is a divine origin to the universe or not. My apartment is not going to clean itself. My vegetables, fruits, etc. are not going to put themselves into a bowl for me. I have to spend time working, doing chores, making something to eat, etc.

I don't consider all aspects of being a human work. Your understanding seem to be a specific religious vairant. I was answering for the general Western concept of work.
As for my actual life, it is enough for you to know that I can't work in the general sense and I need help to live my life.

A general western extreme right concept.

I think this prove you are, also, trolling.

No, English is not my first language and I have also sometimes trouble understanding what people mean.
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Just a beast of burden. Some don't even have to work a day in their life.
One needs money in order to get these things, and some people manage to get money without working (or without having to do much work). The value of one's work also comes into play. Some people work an hour and get $1. Some people work an hour and get $10. Some people work an hour and get $1000. Apparently, God even allowed people, who are strong enough and tough enough, to force others to work for free. Humans ultimately became enlightened enough to outlaw slavery, but God was never quite so enlightened as that.
You brought to mind ...
A monk asked Joshu in all earnestness, “I have just entered this monastery. I beg you, Master, teach me.” Joshu asked, “Have you eaten your rice gruel?” The monk answered, “Yes, I have.”Joshu said, “Wash your bowl.”At that moment, the monk was enlightened. [source]
Thanks.

I don't think you could be more wrong. In fact I was going to ask the same question as @mikkel_the_dane .

I suspect that English is also not the OP’s first language. Your English seems far above his.
I find it interesting that most people's mind went to 'employment' when 'work' was said.
To me, 'work' is just action. Preparing food. Cleaning under a chair. Staying in touch with a friend. Taking a bath. Stocking shelves. Filling out forms. If its fun, all the better! Work doesn't have to be a bore or burden(though sometimes it is).

Well, for me it is different, since I have a mental disorder when it comes to some aspects of work or what ever you would call it.
You still do work, though. Communicating here on RF is work, too(meaning it requires effort).
I do not have a job outside of the home, but I assure you, I work.

Yes, I wondered about this too. @Orion1221 was you referring to employment or just effort in general?
I agree that it is not always a burden.

That got me thinking. I am generally considered to be a very good employee, at home though I am the biggest slob on the earth. I have never understood it but that is me. Funny things us humans
