That's a fate I wouldn't want for anyone.

So, you know, my great hope would be that we as a society figure out how to offer jobs that provide a path to a sense that the work is meaningful and and worthy of respect and human dignity.

I do also want to say, I don't think that...

Feeling that work is a strong calling is the only path or the best path to feeling that you have a good life or a meaningful life.

So there are lots of people who find the meaning in their life outside of the meaning of their work.

So in some ways, it's sort of like what you had said.

If you're lucky enough to find work that you love doing, that's great.

But I think for those who haven't yet found it or maybe will never find it, don't despair.

That's not a personal or moral failing, as we sometimes make it seem.

And there are so many ways that we can feel like we're making a difference and a contribution.

It doesn't only need to be through our work or primarily through our work.

And there are lots of things that give our lives meaning that have nothing to do with work.

Thank you so much, Shankar.

It was a true pleasure.
