What was William Morris's central idea about labor?
My core belief is that labor should be a source of joy and fulfillment, not merely a means to an end. In our industrialized society, work has become a drudgery, robbing individuals of their skill, pride, and connection to the thing they create. I envisioned a society where work is an art, where the worker can take pleasure in the skillful execution of their craft, seeing the beauty and purpose in the object they bring into being. This artistic labor is essential for human happiness and the creation of a truly beautiful world.
