Yeah but birdwatching at least implies that the activity is varied. What if someone was laying bricks for 9 hours and then came home ate dinner and then laid bricks for 3 more hours and did this for years and then took a vacation and laid bricks during the vacation as well? The line is murky between passionate, dedicated, obsessed and insane. I mean, do we understand that we get a single shot at life. This year we'll be as young as we'll ever be. Why do we behave as if though we have endless days that we can just toss away and be done with.

It simply leaves no time whatsoever for taking care of health, spending time with family, travelling, photography, reading novels, meeting romantic partners etc.
