"Because it's the meaningful work that sustains life and provides happiness."

For you.

For me, it is having the time to do what I wish. Currently helping a friend with recovery after a major surgery. Next month, who knows?

No, it's not at all the same as "meaningful work".

At least in part, I do not need the attaboys or regular 'sense of accomplishment' that one get from plate-spinning or other meaningful work.
