Believe it or not, just because you don’t have a wife and child doesn’t make you a failure.
My stance is far more nuanced than that. But nevermind — your opinion is the only correct one, anyway.
I mean, the whole point of what I’m saying is there is nuance to what constitutes failure vs. a successful life.
I believe failing to restore one’s religion, losing/abandoning one’s family, and running off to die alone on a deserted planet constitutes an epic failure.
But I’m unable to make a cogent argument, and you wouldn’t be able to fathom my POV even if I could, so whatever.
