> There is a world you could be working in a place where you are more passionate and less cynical.

The idea that if you're passionate about something you won't have any complaints about it or enjoy it 100% of the time is unhealthy. Most people realize that there's always an element of 'grind' to any task. You could be the most passionate person in the world, but I can guarantee that something about your passion will annoy you slightly. That's just being human

I don’t disagree. Sorry I feel people have misread a lot more malice into my comment than I intended.

I felt sympathy for the OP not superiority.
