So I’m sitting here, debating life and wondering where the line exists between chasing an unrealistic dream and being persistent. Or in other words, what is the difference between settling with something, and realizing that what you are searching for can’t be found. When does the time come when you realize what you are searching for just doesn’t exist or is not within your power to obtain? Is their any fault found if you give up through realization of this? I am also thinking a little like a hedonist in the way that if such a thing does not seem to exist, is it better to live with what you have because the searching for what you hope for may have a greater negative effect when coming up short and not finding it? Understandably, life has many obstacles that tests us and carves us into a better person, but when are we allowed to say; enough is enough and realize these obstacles and moral dilemmas are impossible to overcome? I am being very vague here, but I don’t think it necessarily matters whether this has to do with a career, love, friendship or any other aspect of life. Is it just as simple as believing in ourselves that enables us to accomplish whatever it is we desire, or is there a point in life where we must admit defeat?
