I didn’t understand why until I saw one of Jordan Peterson’s videos where he described the hyper industrious people. He said there’s a small portion of the population who just work because we enjoy it.
If you put me in the forest with an axe, I’d just cut down trees non stop.
I think it’s because we humans are beasts of burden - without a task (or more specifically without - mastery, autonomy and purpose) we whither and die, and it’s natural in a healthy population that there’s variance in the desire for work (burden) and I just seem to love it.
It’s nof for everyone, and I don’t look down or resent those who do not work - because I’m doing this by choice. I truly enjoy working to the limits of my capability and pushing myself, not for fame, recognition or ego, but ultimately the desire to help others.
This seems to be the best explanation so far...
