Your comparisons are wonderful, and you have a great way of explaining things. You're the Otacon to my Snake or something.

For a long time, and I suppose now to some extent, I just figured I'd end up dead. Wouldn't have to worry about the "what next", and how much better can I get to make things the best. I have a certain baseline, added on with a few learned skills, and by the time I did what I could with what I had, it would just end.

But you're absolutely right. I do have to keep on learning, since like you said, there is no cap. This may sound kind of naive of me to say it, but it's not like death's a sure thing and I should just be content with having a set amount of skills. I can always learn more and help better the situation while I'm in it.

How funny.

I had been feeling kind of alone, and wishing I could find someone to connect to and give me some hope.

Thank you for showing me that I had it all along. It was there, but I just didn't quite know where to find it. Sometimes it's hard to understand your own potential with your own eyes.

You are a wonderful person. Thank you.

Well, death is a pretty sure thing for all of us eventually. In a hundred and fifty years time (give or take a bit for medical advancements) it's pretty safe to say that you, me, everyone else here and anyone you've ever interacted with, they're going to be dead. Maybe some of us will have untimely deaths, others will live way longer than they expected to - death itself is, at this point in time, not something that people can avoid. How and where and what and why you die, though, that you can have a say in to a pretty good extent.

Looking at your other comments, having saftey and security, it can be a pretty weird thing, right? To have everything within your reach. I don't think it's creature comforts that are bad or anything, though, as much as how little a ton of people are aware that they're not very far they could be from losing all of that. As much things as you do have control of, there're will always be stuff that's bigger than you are.

Some people ignore that, some people spend all the time preparing for when things will go bad, but... there is a middle line. It's possible to be aware things could go south, but then because you're aware of that, all the more know how valuable what you have is now.

I'd say, if you have enough to take care of yourself and whatever's important to you (which is something that you're going to have to think about, too), then you're good. I hope you're good! Could things be better? Things could always be better, but then they could always be worse. And you have the benefit of knowing that even when things do get worse, they don't have to stay that way.

Honestly, I'm nothing special. You're the one that's been through stuff and that's working on getting better. I think you've probably figured from the other comments that you're not alone in the situation you're in. You, and everyone else that's working hard, keep going. Chances are neither you nor the world you live in are done with each other yet.
