In this monologue, the speaker argues that a livelihood must provide ethical impact and give back to both the individual and society. They claim that for a person to be truly happy and content, their work must enrich themselves and others rather than degrade personal happiness or the quality of life of others. The speaker frames this as a mandatory condition for a happy human existence, questioning how one could be content if their job harms themselves or the planet.

So our livelihood needs to give us that energy too. We need to have livelihood that has an ethical impact, that gives back. I think it's a mandatory thing for a happy human. If we have a livelihood that is not enriching us and enriching the people around us, if we instead see our livelihood is degrading our happiness and the quality of life of other people, then how can we be happy? How can we— how could we be content with ourselves, with our role on planet Earth? How would that make us content?
