In the context of work: the act of “creation” i.e. abstracting some reality into tiny encoded parts that elegantly fit together to perform something useful.

In the context of life: it does derive itself from work i.e. I need work - other than that I don't believe in perfect balance, there's no such thing in life.

I'm usually trying to be an active nihilist i.e. less a passive one as much as I can. So I guess something in the realm of a “quest” of knowledge - the known unknowns and the yummy unknown unknowns.
