I think work by necessity has become something of a perversion, a product of an increasingly hive-based culture. But I do also believe in the more Indian concept of Work, a something we all have the desire in us to do, and which actually makes us happy when he channel effort into it. I know a few people who would be miserable without the opportunity to do what it is they do.
That's wholly different from the regulated prison the majority of employment represents in this day and age, however.
And forest folk are often ocean folk, too, at heart. Some of them, anyway. I know I am. Growing up in Oz, it's kind of impossible not to be -- though I did always prefer them when the sun wasn't burning and most of the idiots had gone home. It's a different sort of elemental power, but certainly not an incompatible one.
Also if there's a flood you can use the ducks as a floatation device. MASTER PLAN.
