Why must you fall on one side or the other of this apparent dichotomy? Neither by itself brings out depth in life. Perhaps deciding whether or not to quit a toxic job to go to another job (wonderful or otherwise) doesn't comprise the only option. Maybe other "non-job" options could be found would one look for them. Or maybe you could have a job+ situation or a job- situation. You might never find out without looking. Of course, if money is short and you have obligations, maybe creative looking takes a secondary position, but even so, it costs little to *look*. I enjoy your blog.
