No, I don't think it's wrong for someone to want to focus on something other than tragedy. Work is something simple and productive that you can let your brain focus on.

Should work be your only outlet? Absolutely not, but there's nothing wrong with using it as one. Humans like to work, period. If it's not to sustain ourselves, we'll invent work to do.

Yeah, that’s fair enough, but I feel like the OP is disingenous and that the motivation for it comes from this “the business must come first” attitude…a bit like my OHs boss (Company owner) telling her how she should be more dedicated and how he was up til 9pm the night before.
