>You don't need to understand Hegel to understand Marxists
You wanna know how I know you've never read one of these "Marxists"? That's a patently ridiculous thing to say, you absolute moron.

what is idle speech and why is it bad?

>Unless you're on some extreme end of the bell-curve, your situation will probably be about average and the implications of the metric being measured won't really have a stand-out effect on your life
Isn't that uh. Kinda the point?

Yes, that is step number two.

First and foremost, I'm saying people should have a long and hard think about step number one first: What do I want in my life and how can I pay for it?

I can tell you what I want from life: one day, I want to live in my own house and have a fireplace and a garden with a tree. In that house, I want to live with a partner that I value for how much we share the same passions and raise kids with her.
That has been what I want for over a decade.
I have known the answer to question 1 for about 16 years and haven't even ASKED question two for most of my life: how am I going to pay for that?

You could also rephrase it and ask "How do I get there", but I myself and 99% of people here are realistic or cinical enough to understand that this question always boils down to "How do I PAY for the life I want?".


To answer your question: Do follow your passion, but NEVER do it blindly. If you blindly follow your passion, you'll might end up with little money and tons of worries.

If you can trace a compromise between your passion and the way to pay for it, you'll end up with little worries and enough happiness/wealth to keep you from actively hating this life.
I wish somebody had told me 10 years ago, but I only have myself to blame for being so retardedly short sighted.


Step one: What do I want from this life?
Step two: How do I pay for it?
Step three: Where is the compromise that brings 1 and 2 together?


Basic stuff, but I'm not the brightest candle on the cake and had to learn it the hard way.

A buoyant boat is this abode.
Crashed through the ceiling
the Sputnik smiles, radiating
I smile back of course while
exchanging due pleasantries.
I send him on his way, the
poor sod just got lost.
Not really a surprise
considering the flood.
Whole thing must look blue now.
A buoyant boat is this abode.
How many rubels would it take
to fix my damn roof, anyhow?
It might have been rude to ask.
Don't think Sputniks bring change,
when so hastily leaving home.
I wouldn't.
Why'd one turn back so soon?
I certainly wouldn't.
