The fact that he chose to answer this question, while he has over 6k in his inbox, makes me laugh.
At this point I open the asks, answer whatever’s in front of me and close it again. Most of them simply are never going to be seen by me – there are too many coming in every day to read, let alone to answer, and there is only one of me, and I have a job or three, and a small boy, and a large dog.

This is literally why stories and fantasy are so useful to humans. We cannot tackle every mundane challenge with enthusiasm, and facing against profoundly daunting tasks can be deeply demoralizing, and you don’t get to feel cool or heroic for filing 400 pieces of paperwork.
We arm ourselves with stories and fantasy, so that the laundry can become a charming hurdle to overcome, and the daunting stack of bills is the leviathan we the brave knights must slay.
Humans have always been like this. So many cultures have stories or mythology or even rituals about literally embodying another being better suited to the challenge one currently faces.
