i dont know why this post didnt get more hits. id ask that this doesnt become a holier then thou or ripping on parasites thread; just stick to the issue.

I think its plausable that a bochur/yungerman who learns seriously, all day, everyday, has a more rigorous schedule. day begins usually at seven endes near midnight and has 12+ hours of intense mind straining concentration. i appreciate that working 8 till 8 is tough too; believe me my father is a workaholic who often doesnt sleep nights, but i believe he is the exception not the rule. also, while work might not be totally enjoyable or fun at all, and total drudgery at times, anyone who is having a slump and still pounds through a complete second seder has worked herder then climbing everest. the yetzer hara doesnt mind if you climb everest. although most people who are learning enjoy it, it can still be extremely difficult at times to stay focused. if your working and only have two hours a day to learn i dont think this problem surfaces. i know im gonna be called a lazy behind along with the rest of my kind but please, try to stay on topic.
