Quoting myself: `> Had they already experienced everything good there is to experience in this one lifetime that they were so bored of it that they would prefer to work instead?` And I'm pretty certain that forest isn't exchanging your limited time in life for money. I'm giving concrete examples, not exclusive examples. Touch grass, my friend, and find your forest.

> I'm pretty certain that forest isn't exchanging your limited time in life for money

A simple question — what if your forest happens to hand you money back? Are you still “pretty certain” of this?
