Many years ago when I was working at a bank, the bank's president told me, "Remember, we're just trying to make the owners some money. We're not saving lives or defending the nation." It took me longer than it should have to internalize that idea, but when I finally did, work became much easier.
In the years since I was told that, I've seen multiple people who did not get the advice lose perspective and then lose their job.
