If working doesn't give you any meaning, your job sucks. People tend to like validation, participating in society, creating value for others, etc. Work is usual

If working doesn't give you any meaning, your job sucks. People tend to like validation, participating in society, creating value for others, etc. Work is usually the best vector. Dicking around with art for the sake of leisure provides some meaning, but doesn't deliver what a good job does. If it did, it would be a job.
- bluefirebrand 4y ago> If working doesn't give you any meaning, your job sucks This is a very typical attitude but it's pretty backwards imo. If your work provides more meaning than everything else in your life, then your life sucks. Id rather have a job that is just a paycheck and find meaning in all of the other stuff.
