Charles heals from hurtโฆ
โAutotelicโ is not a word that comes up much in the average casual conversation. Or at least mine. Yours might very well be regularly punctuated with such a word. But with my personal simplistic conversing, the word is rarely to enter. In fact, I might say it has NEVER even popped by with so much as a โremember me?โโฆ But I think itโs about time we started talking about it. Firstly, its meaning. โAutotelicโ is usually referred to from an artistic standpoint. It means to make something for oneโs own satisfaction. We have Greece to thank for the word; autos meaning self, and telos meaning goal. But while one could argue that ANYthing we do is autotelic, this is not quite right. If one is doing something for money, then the money is the reason. The DOING should be the reason if it is to be autotelic. Sometimes it might be both, of course; but unfortunately this is rarely the case. This is because most donโt have the privilege of having their dream job. A dream job is when someone spends their working life doing exactly what they love doing, with the bonus of being paid for it. I say โbonusโ, but of course money is an absolute necessity in order to survive, and therefore not to be frowned upon.
