well. i'm not sure you're talking about what i'm talking about. i agree,
that there are people who love their jobs. they love their work. but their
work is either fun or important, and not both. if they're having fun, it
can't be all that important. i mean, can you really have fun helping kids
with autism? you could think it's the greatest job in the world, it's very
important...but you're fooling yourself if you're going to try real hard to
think it's fun.

i don't make choices depending on whether something is important or fun. to
be honest, i usually do what's important. and i don't know why. fun is so
fun. must be a human condition type thing. my attitude is great. you can't
regret doing something important. and you can't regret doing something fun.
as long as you know what you're doing.

as i said, this conversation is not to prove something important. just to
have some fun. at the end i'm going to leave it and nothing will have come of
it. philosophy is fun. social work is important. you can say it's fun. but
why lie?

Some people are just gonna make themselves have fun no matter what they're
doing.
