Being freed from one task enables you to do another - to be is to do.

I thought when I retired from full-time teaching I'd be bored. I didn't realize that my time spent writing would expand to fill the hours. Now, I simply don't have enough hours in the day.

As automation and technology make certain tasks redundant, other needs will arise along with opportunities for people to be even more productive. I don't envision the future, or heaven, as reclining indolently on flowery beds of ease - elimination of one task gives rise to the opportunity to pursue other endeavours.
