Perhaps if people had a balanced life and had several parallel sources of “meaning” and “satisfaction” in their lives, there wouldn’t be this debate. Limud torah as much as time/resources allow, professional acomplishment at work, family and espeically children and grandchildren, and personal achievesments unrelated to work or study (aka physical fitness challenges, learnig to play an instrument, etc) …ALL of these will contribute to a sense of acomplishment .
