Haha, yeah I thought so too! I wondered if some of that POV came from his experience as a manic depressive, mostly because of the high that comes from achieving a long term go, and while a person like me or you would go, "all right, that was GREAT! Next thing!", someone like him would have felt that high, and then feels the low very strongly right afterward, and it's something he's described experiencing on documentary he did on manic depression.
I think it's a lovely thought, to be able to have a job that's fun, and there is a lot more fulfillment when a job is enjoyable since it's something that a person will be doing for probably most of their adult life. But you're right, it's not always something that happens or is possible for all people, and the people it is possible for are very fortunate indeed.
What hit me the most was the whining, he's so right about that part that it's sort of embarrassing. XD I like to whine, it's nice to just let it out and complain and whine about how life sucks, everything sucks, blah blah blah. But it's very egocentric, it becomes all about me, and wow... that's embarrassing. Sometimes it does have to be let out, but I think I let it out way too much over the past year. xD
And I should attempt to talk more to strangers too... especially in a new place. If the Doctor tried to talk to me in that Endor spaceship thing, I probably would've given him the stink eye and shuffled into a dark corner with my knitting, books, and sketchpad. XD I'm naturally solitary, I like being alone and doing my own stuff, but I do miss out on new experiences because of this.
