Great topic! It seem the crux of this consideration is the human tendency to avoid meaningful work, rather than hard word. Meaningful work makes us vulnerable because we care. Working hard is perhaps how we avoid the vulnerability of doing meaningful work. Or, if we've found that meaning, working hard on it is basically heaven on earth. It's our psychological protection mechanisms that are perhaps underestimated.
