What really is a chore?

n.

Basically, #3 is what it's described as.  A chore was a housekeeping task for most people.  It was something completed to earn allowance growing up.  The first person wanting $1.50 for vacuuming two floors, can have it.


Chores were a means to an end.  A chore became an annoyance as time past, then eventually became impossible.  This was burden-free bliss that hopefully lasts through life.
