It’s like I used to work somewhere and this guys mum (I think) died, he came in did a shift and then took a lot of time off…I think he just needed the normality and time to process.

But don’t you think there’s something wrong that people are conditioned or broke that they have to be like that?

No, I don't think it's wrong for someone to want to focus on something other than tragedy. Work is something simple and productive that you can let your brain focus on.

Should work be your only outlet? Absolutely not, but there's nothing wrong with using it as one. Humans like to work, period. If it's not to sustain ourselves, we'll invent work to do.

BTDT. Having a routine is conditioning we do to ourselves, but for so much of life, its the most useful thing ever zfor so long as we can keep it up.* The trick is to not be further hurt by guilt for failing to continue with it or get back to it quickly enoug/"just so".
