that’s part of it but there are other cases too. i like learning but i don’t like making it other people’s problem, and my improvement is a snail’s pace for a variety of reasons, some self-inflicted. im comfy with you tho
the problem is that you're looking for depth. i never tire of repeating nietzsche's refrain: the greeks were superficial out of profundity. the mundane, the everyday, is all there is - and that is sufficient motivation for action.
