No matter how good your job is, it will never compare to the innocent, carefreeness and happiness you felt when you were in your childhood. (If it was a good one)

This isn't an anti-work sentiment. I love my job.

But it is like comparing having a great death to finding inner peace. Even the worst version of the one is still better than the best version of the other.
