Despair 22

It's a new year! With the advance of the calendar, this is also time for everyone to make New Year's Resolutions

I usually just try not to make any resolutions. Not out loud, anyway.

[im_in_despair]

Maybe it's about time you started! Without resolutions, there's no way for you to know the full extent of your inabilities!

[no_good_tsuna]

That's exactly why I don't want to make them!!!

...If you know already that you're not going to follow through on a resolution, why bother making it in the first place?

[im_in_despair]

Tradition, mostly.,

I resolve to do my homework!

[magicbloomers]

This is fun!

[im_in_despair]

That's the kind of resolution you should keep.

[magicbloomers]

Hee, hee, sure~

I resolve to definitely keep that resolution!

[im_in_despair]

That's basically the same as making no resolutions.

[im_in_despair]

That's a fairly innacurate representation of my point.

What you are saying, then, is that people have absolutely no resolve at all, and that no matter what, what they aspire to do is worthless.

Have you ever heard someone say, "Fall down seven times, get up eight"?

One thing I intend not to do then is remain here forever.

[im_in_despair]

The adage you referred to is flawed in that it assumes there's a finite number of times that life can knock you down!

[meitori]

Your thinking is flawed in that you believe that there is a finite amount of times someone will get back up.

[im_in_despair]

If that's the case, then I hope you're prepared to spend the rest of your life falling over and getting back up!
