Perhaps the insinuation is that these things are not good.
There could be a genuine misunderstanding there. Love in Latin is caritas, from which we also have “charity” — not quite the same thing, especially in modern society that industrialized charity. The modern understanding of “work” is “paid job”. As we know, any work done for a reward — social recognition or plain old salary — is not salvific. On this point Catholics and Protestants often speak past each other. The inability of recognizing the good works — a term of art for Catholic Christians, — of the Good Thief is an illustration of this problem.
