I love learning not for an end goal (though sometimes I have those). I love learning as a process. It’s a meaningful, enjoyable activity, a damn good way to spend my hours.
One of the things I enjoy most about microblog: many opportunities for learning. People here are always talking about/sharing interesting stuff.
