Could be big picture, like a life goal. Could be what you want right this moment. What do you yearn for?

    That’s fair, if to you resolve means being willing to live in your car or an abandoned house, and also that you don’t necessarily acquire money through legal means.

    Some people are not suited to doing that.

      I get where you are coming from, and fair enough, but I strongly feel it’s more sensible not to mirror this through the worst possible scenario, but the average one.

      Either way you make more sense here than I, through a more empathetic and understanding lense, and ultimately I’m not sure what it is exactly I intended to convey with all this back and forth.

      Maybe just that things are not always as hopeless as they seem, and if a thing feels out of reach, at the time, unachievable, doesn’t always make it so, or mean it’ll always be so.

      But the “all you need is some elbow grease” pathos I’m really not sure where that came from, I didn’t intend it to sound that way, but reading back, that’s what my responses sound like.

      Oh well. As long as we dare to dream and hope, we are still alive. And as long as we are alive, it’s never too late for anything, however unlikely or distant they may seem.

        Hey, no worries, we both approached this from opposite ends. And it may be that because of my history I’ve mostly interacted with people who had more humble starts in life or didn’t get a normal amount of opportunities.

        Either way, thank you for arguing in good faith :-)
