Could we not say it's part of the same thing? It's like we're wired to enjoy sex, wired to enjoy creating, etc.

Why are we passionate about what we're passionate about? I have no idea... we just are. It's something deeper than an intellectual decision, y'know? Just seems some people are wired to enjoy different things. It's part of the inherent diversity within All That Is.

All those things we do to create or sustain life may also just be because on some deep level, we derive a sense of pleasure and joy from them, and as Abraham says, the purpose of life IS joy.
