In the book "Memo: Secrets of Creating Characters in a Screenplay" (https://alpinabook.ru/catalog/book-memo), authors Vogler and McKenna teach that for a good story, you need to define the main theme of the work and answer the question "What does the protagonist want?" Without this, the story won't begin.
So what does our protagonist—the faithful LaborGit user—want?
Let me remind you that we are about labor, about joyful Labor. About resting in order to labor, not the other way around. About individuality, not about personality.
For self-admiration and egoism—to Instagram, please.
So, possible wants for a person of Labor:
- Approval (validation) in childhood, recognition in maturity
- To keep up and be no worse than others
- To feel alive
- To leave a legacy (immortality, memory)
- Individuation—breaking away from parents, the collective
- Unity with the collective
- Self-actualization and self-realization
- To joyfully create in flow, forgetting about the self
- Impersonal unity with the Labor of the Universe
"What one word can define the theme of your life?" (Memo, p.27)
We humbly argue that the main want for a LaborGit person is "to not live in vain."
To not squander one's life, as we say in Russian.
