Yay glad the sessions are going well (all what two of them 😆).
Funnily enough I classify “work” as anything requiring effort (it’s probably a leftover biological definition, a lot of things I think about are still biology related even though it’s a lifetime ago now that I was doing biology) and “chore” as anything I don’t want to do/like doing but have to 😅
Umm yes you are absolutely robbing other people of the nice feeling of happiness and relevance that they were able to be of service/useful to someone they care about. Accept help more 😝
This is not a bad definition either. When I write, I say "I'm working" even though it isn't a job of any kind, it is something I want to do. But, it does take effort!
But, maybe people offer it less these days?
Maybe? Could just be the bias of the "now that you mention it" I remember ages ago when the boys used to do Auskick there was a death of volunteers (there was the same bunch of us doing everything all the time because no one else had the time apparently, and it's a similar deal at work, it's the same bunch of people doing everything because everyone else is much too busy.
