Rediscovering Meaningful Work
2:54:56 2024-09-18 857

Ruskin believed good work required thoughtful engagement. In The Stones of Venice, he argued that it wasn’t just the final product that mattered, but the care and process behind it. Machine-made items, even if perfect, lacked the human touch. Small imperfections and variations reflect human skill, but also reveal more about the humanity and soul of the maker.

Ruskin urged everyone to value work that allows for this thoughtfulness, where human effort is evident in the result. He was also ahead of his time criticizing poor working conditions, arguing that we shouldn’t take pride in owning objects made by devaluing the workers who created them.

There is a confluence between these ideas and the concept of flow: the psychological state where individuals are fully immersed and engaged in their tasks, finding joy and meaning in the process. We should aspire to create flow in our own work and appreciate the work of others who have achieved a similar mastery—valuing the human effort, agency, and creativity that bring depth and meaning to the result.
