Work is a word aristotle made up in order to say what he wanted to say. It includes my inner work, my inner life, as someone absorbing ideas and coming to understanding and synthesizing things i've learned. And secondary gains and and the rewards that come afterwards are really just secondary. The work itself is what's fulfilling for people who have the opportunity to express themselves. These are where we are, where our humanity is manifestedactively, thorughly, beautiful.
