I feel that one of the things that has unbalanced society, is that people largely don't create anything with their hands of value. In the past, everyone had to make something.
. One of the best ways to turn something fun and fulfilling in the process into a grind is to measure it by how much money it makes you.
I agree with this! It is why so many people fail to maintain consistency on Hive - they look at the dollar value, and think creating isn't worth it. Then they drop their quality, so it doesn't even meet their own standards.
Plus, that convenience is turning us all into convenient consumers so we have to force ourselves to be purveyors and creators of art or else our attention will be stolen away by the next impulse.
For sure. Life is passing us by, while we watch other people play.
