I don't know that it's silly... I guess as long as we understand why.

My own dad was eternally moving because he'd been extensively schooled in idleness being a bad thing. The "problem" wasn't that he was doing things because he authentically wanted to get them done, but because he felt uncomfortable that there would be "ancestral voices" (for lack of a better word) that were judging him if he sat still... even if he wanted to sit still.
