> Burnout is caused by working hard at something for a long time and not having it pay off.
There's a lot to say about that.
Sometime contexts creates obligations that render reward impossible, you only get a stream of wrong imperatives and lack of benefits.
Sometimes people simply forget how to go for stuff they want. I lived a lot of my life conforming to others orders.. until nothing made sense emotionally. You forget what 'pay off' means for you. Very subtle, very hard. A lot of things in life are negotiating obligations and knowing how to recognize bad deals is key. Freedom is a rare asset :)
Kids have this well set, all they care about is their internal sense of reward.. they'll move relentlessly from rewards to rewards until they're chokeful of them. Social structures blur this into innane amounts of duties that often are invented by morons higher up.
