humans are not machines, there is an irrational element to humans.
When you have a name for "Death from work" That is the sign you went ot far.
The Irony is that overworking don't go along with productivity. A person constantly tired and overworked can do less than person working normal hours. So basically they are overworking for nothing.
Why you think there is so many anime’s about school or college? It’s their last moment of freedom.

This has not aged well at all
People usually say Japanese are living 50 years into the future because of their innovation in railways and electronics. Eventually the rest of the world will catch up to them including the work culture. The work life is getting bad in the rest of the world also.
In Philippines, Shabushi is affecting a significant proportion of the working class.Many of Filipinos especially from Creative/Advertising Companies/Business Outsourcing have taken illicit substances like Shabu and Cocaine to cope up with day-to-day pressure from home and work.
Humans are for economy not vice versa 😔
Japan should learn to work efficiently. Long hours =/= More productive.
Well at least they get an extra year or two for their olympics

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:25-34 NIV
