dumbass,

we can't totally change your brains. we all need some autonomy, some
security and a certain amount of personal attention to be happy.



Dumbass -

Doing what one loves does not necessarily result in security, but it
does, IMO, result in more autonomy and personal attention.

Autonomy? self evident. Attention? If one does what one loves, one is
much more likely to excel at it. That usually results in positive
attention from others.

With the Dunning-Kruger exception, of course.
