It's something I've been thinking about lately. I feel like most of the value and importance of things come when people are doing things they think are worth doing in a way that they think is more or less the right way to do them.
On the one hand, there are many things worth doing that have sub-tasks that aren't particularly "fun", but I think in a fair number of cases people can make peace with those by understanding that they are part of the overall worth-doing task and are part of what it means to do it right.
On the other hand, a huge amount of value is sucked out of our world by "business", which is basically a way to take things that are worth doing and wrap them in money so the actual thing people wanted to do (both as creators and consumers) is muffled and hidden.
