      Semantics, but my interpretation is that work can be uplifting. Like yard work is work. Helping friends move is work. Working on your life drawing is work. Working out is maybe even work.

      Jobs on the other hand are what I could do without.

      But like I said, it’s just semantics. I agree with you.

        I wanted to spend a good chunk of my life volunteering.

        I can hardly take care of chores with how overwhelmed I am. I will try 3 Concerta pills either Monday or Thursday

        Working for someone else’s profit, someone who you don’t even like, is not uplifting. That’s capitalism. You spend all day building some API, the owner starts making millions, and you a few thousand in salary.

          I don’t understand your point. It sounds like we agree, I just consider work potentially uplifting when it’s not for money. That is to say no one is paying me to do it.

          The work I do for my job is not uplifting. I just do that so I have money to pay the man.
