Well yeah that’s true enough. Having a serious code of ethics and living up to it, and also facing up to failures, isn’t easy, but hey neither is life.
If you really want to feel good about yourself, especially as you get old and past your prime, stick to your values and fight to good fight during your prime, yeah at times it hurts, feel the burn, you can get through it.
Sure beats being a zombie.
Although, in today’s increasingly overcrowded, hostile world with it’s growing patches of dystopia, I have the feeling all of our age-old bets are off.
We’ve run out of new horizons and never learned to tame ourselves.
