I disagree. Sometimes, working on things that don't matter brings me happiness. And ... does anything, that anyone does on this pale blue dot, really matter in the grand scheme of things? Or does it all matter simply because we want it to and it makes us happy?

Doing things for no reward is sometimes a reward per se.

Cheers, my friends!
