Oh this is a great one. I was once in a job, where we were introduced to a new system that was designed to count successes. The problem was, that it was a job where we worked with people and everything we did couldn’t be quantified. The new system only put value on what could be counted so 80% of our work became invisible and “worthless”. Great times.
Yeah, I mean, I’m not the most active, but I made a sublemmy (I’m still not sure about the naming convention here lol) and that’s something I never did on Reddit, because everything was usually already there in some form. I also did it to contribute, because I know that us being active actually counts for something. On Reddit I could go months without posting or commenting. So yes, I’m definitely more active and it feels like you are actually engaging with other people and not just consuming content.
I know it’s a joke and I appreciate the meaning of the original comment, but I don’t think you need to constantly challenge yourself to enjoy life. Sometimes it’s ok to sit back and enjoy what you have and what you know. Just as long as you don’t settle and forget to be open to new things that could enrich that life.
