In one of George Moore’s novels there is a description of Irish peasants who have been set to work, just to keep them busy, at building roads that run out and end in dreary bogs. George Moore writes: “The road which leads nowhere is difficult to make; for a man to work well there must be an end in view.”

The point
Aimless work, like a road leading nowhere, is hardest of all, people need a purpose to work well.
