Not all work - when you do it for yourself, it can be a very good thing.
Even toddlers "play" - making art, building blocks, doing routine tasks, engage in roleplay, etc. - is a form of "work", for the gratification of the one doing it rather than increasing the wealth of an abstract corporate behemoth monster.
Imagine sexing someone up, not to feed yourself but just b/c you wanted to brighten their week:-D.
We have a beautiful distinction in German. Arbeit means work in almost all the same senses as it does in English. Lohnarbeit – lit. salary work – is the one you do for some else in exchange for money.
Lohnarbeit is inherently degrading.
I love that - thanks for sharing!:-)
I love that specificity. I’m happy I know that now
