I feel that a common perception is that work is trading time for money. People try to maximize this framework by trading less time for more money. Or making the time be something they enjoy doing. But this understanding is inherently transactional. Because of this, I think it engages our competitive spirit. We want to maximize the equation. We want to have less work and more money. This leads to downhill effects that are negative. For example, even when you're enjoying something, you will have the instinct to turn it into something you don't like.
