I fail to see how this concept in and of itself is a bad thing. In fact, I'd argue that if we were to pursue meaningfulness and goodness in the work that we do, pay attention to what we do, why we do it, and how it affects us as individuals as well as the world around us, our world would be in a much better place. I like to work. Sitting idle is depressing and frustrating and all around dispiriting. When I'm working, I work hard and it genuinely makes me feel good about myself. That said, I don't ever actually look forward to going to work and while I'm treated well where I'm at and love the work I do, I'd love to find a job that I'd consider more meaningful and socially beneficial than what I do now.Perhaps we’ve all gotten a little hungry for meaning.
