    There’s still a lot of actually important work that needs doing, like solving world hunger, poverty, and homelessness (which unfortunately most countries aren’t paying people to do, except for a few), but for the most part this quote is spot on:

      think about whatever it was they were thinking about before someone came along and told them they had to earn a living.

      This right here moved me. Not just because it’s so spot on, but because I don’t even remember what I was thinking about back then.
