Are you still able to do things "just because"?

We live in a society that pushes us toward increasingly optimised versions of ourselves, where AI can help streamline every process in our lives.

Sometimes it feels like we have lost the ability to do things without any final outcome, just enjoying the process of learning something new, being a beginner again, and the joy it can bring us.

In a world where every hobby could become a source of income, maybe it's sometimes worth slowing down and reflecting on what it is that actually brings us happiness. Is it the metrics or the action?
