Your Graphic Quote is well written. The Theory Subject Topic is a great discussion point.
Many people also experience burnout whenever they lose their passion for a thing. When that happens, it will slowly slip into a chore status, then resentment quickly settles in. It can be anything from work, school, homework, cooking, volunteering, running errands, going to the gym etc.

I have a theory that burnout is caused by someone living someone else’s life, not their own… 🙂

Knowing that I am valued, and that I can walk away when the time comes, prevents any resentment.

Resentment towards either one’s self for not living their values within, or as a result of, their work/activity/relationship from which they are burned out OR towards others/workplace/activity for not recognizing one’s input, worth, and achievement. I have read some interesting work defining burnout as an additional form of depression. And, in my research on teachers experiencing burnout, it seems pretty accurate–we are social/relational beings and if we are giving consistently but not receiving anything back, it starts to feel pointless, leading to apathy and burnout.
