I have noticed that when I talked about my goals (my ultimate goals), I am called grandiose or I need to be down to earth.Well, what people don't fucking get is if I did not set my goals so fucking high, then depression would pull me under. On part this relates to Thus Spoke Zarathustra and it's talk about creating new values. If God (what we value, on my case a parent) is dead, we must create new values. The new values will be our rudder and so yes due to trauma the reward (ie emotion), needs to be greater, otherwise I will just be depressed and back to square one.

On a side note, I appreciate this sib as it really ressonates with me. Thanks :) .
