While I agree with you in theory, some of the above arguments are right: If you spent all your time working, you could burn out easily, maybe get suicidal thoughts, etc... Humans aren't robots, they usually need other things to do as well than just work. They would break down mentally if every time they wrote a post or played games, they'd feel compelled to work instead. The psychological satisfaction gained from non-profiting activities like playing soccer/video games/etc. for fun is just as considerable as the monetary gain from a job. While conventional development models stress economic growth as the ultimate objective, the concept of GNH claims to be based on the premise that true development of human society takes place when material and spiritual development occur side by side to complement and reinforce each other.
