Serious Question: Oh, what's the point?
Alternately: Is running headfirst toward a dream one knows is probably doomed to failure over and over throughout a lifetime noble or merely stupid? Is it wiser to cling to that ambition or to admit defeat and organize one's life to the best of one's ability?
Or: Say that there are two dreams, one ultimately impossible to achieve and the other mindbogglingly difficult given current resources; the impossible dream provides happiness, comfort, opportunity, recognition and rich and meaningful relationships, but the lifestyle carries a strain that can only be fought off so long. The difficult dream promises a life of solitude, loneliness, obscurity and so on, but is paired with a sense of completeness and satisfaction with one's work. It's assumed both are incompatible. How does one come to a decision between the two? Can a decision be reached, either by circumstance or will?
In Summary: Should I stay or should I go, oh?
And because I'm sure this post will appear far more melodramatic and vague--and far less clever and playful--later today, I may as well complete the spell by adding that I'm currently listening to Jóhann Jóhannsson's Fordlândia, an ear meltingly beautiful gift from a friend. Anyhow, off to the Youtube thread with me. |
