Hmm, I've known many with no ambition. I suggest you find something that you want in your life otherwise you may regret the time you weren't aspiring to be something or someone.

[coolerjunpei]

Yeah yeah, guidance counselor, alright...

[Hmm.]

Can I ask you something, though? What's wrong with just, I dunno, being a normal person with a normal life?

[conflictresolution]

What's your definition of 'normal' wrapped in this question? Is anyone truly normal, or does toiling away with nothing to look forward to how anyone wants to spend their life?

[coolerjunpei]

I look forward to plenty of things. What am I supposed to look forward to? Fifty years of the grind before I get my cocktail on the beach somewhere? Is that any better?

[conflictresolution]

Do you want the grind? Or do you imagine something more, something that inspires you?

[coolerjunpei]

Can I be inspired by having a house and a dog, or is that too ambition-less for a guy like you?

[conflictresolution]

I don't define what gets you out of that single bed of yours in the morning, and if it is a house and a dog, so be it. Once you have it, you'll simply have to move the post to somewhere else.

[coolerjunpei]

"Move the post," my ass... That sounds like more grind to me. When do you stop moving the posts?

[conflictresolution]

When you lose the will for it, are content with your life or you die.

[coolerjunpei]

That's a two out of three losing scenario. I don't like the odds.

[conflictresolution]

Then change them or deal with them.

[coolerjunpei]

Hey, I already said the house and the dog are going great for me.

[conflictresolution]

Do you have those things yet?

[coolerjunpei]

Yeah. Dog just kind of showed up one day... From home, I mean.

[conflictresolution]

So you are set for the rest of your life. Dog and house acquired.

[coolerjunpei]

That's what I'm saying. It's fine, right?

[it's an honesty meme, not an "unpack why you keep needling people for approval" meme, this is fine--]

I guess it's whatever. Where are your posts?

[conflictresolution]

If you say it is fine, it is fine.

Securing my future and that of my family.

[coolerjunpei]

Hmm.

Really didn't peg you for a family man... You got kids?

[conflictresolution]

I have a daughter, yes.

[coolerjunpei]

Oh yeah? So what's "securing the future" for you guys?

[conflictresolution]

Providing her the life that was denied to me and allowing her to pick her own path as she is currently doing.
