Who among us is not in favor of long-time learning? I’ve been “out of yeshiva” for more than 20 years, yet still learn.
What I do have an issue with is, learning at the expense of others health and well being. Know how bad I would love to attend the 11:00am Daf shuir in BP? But quitting my job will mean lots of unhappy moments for the family I chose to bring into the world.
There is a time an place for everything.
I disagree. If you choose to sacrifice yourself and learn, who have you harmed? If you find a wife who wishes to sacrifice herself that you might learn, who has she harmed?
I think you are applying your own life decisions to other people who have made contrary ones.
