distractions AND lack of clear path to clear benefit. You can craft arrows forever, because you clearly know that this will benefit you immensely: you'll get food and you like getting food. It will even make you a perfectionist because you don't want your weapon to break, fail, miss on you. You'll make it stiff, sharp, easy to handle.. it's almost not work it's protopleasure.

That's why primitive life is somehow easier[0] than modern life, you own your struggles. Here, it's dilluted in space, time and society. You have to negotiate, compromise, wait, be a cog in an absurd machine, swallow others belief and limits.. it wears you off
