How are you so confused about what you really want? Did your childhood have no sense of direction, hence all this compensation?
Well the only thing I really want is my vision, but apparently that isn't good enough. I have trouble remembering my childhood, I guess I truly didn't have much of one, since I got on the computer at age 9, a bit after my father figure died, aka my grandfather. For a long time, I didn't fit in much at school I still had friends but yea. I also have trouble remembering my past self and what I was entirely like.
If you want to be able to "feel again", you need to let things hurt you.
Emotionality is like a spigot with a broken temperature gauge. If you don't let yourself be as sad, or as angry, or as afraid, then you cannot let yourself be as happy or content either.
It's through investments that we find ourselves obsessively shackled to it. You have to give a little to get a little, while playing it safe is playing it stagnant.
Not sure how that works, as I don't really get hurt, and my stress levels are pretty small, except in times of anger when I think about purging degeneracy, but even then I wouldn't call it high stress, more like zealous urges.
A game is all it takes to push your ideologies?
I wouldn't say that, it's lore of the Imperium, aspects of it, I find resonating with. Like a united humanity, and the Emperor's original intention of a secular mankind with science and progress.
What responsibilities do you see yourself versus your wife accomplishing for your progeny?
It really depends, I'd like to think that my wife and I would discuss what responsibilites each partner has. I suppose at times I could be the one at home taking care of the kids, or vice versa. Perhaps my wife could teach them compassion, while I could teach them strength.
Inspiration works both ways, you could end up teaching them how to take down your values.
You could end up being a story of how they shouldn't live their lives just as much as you could end up their hero.
Perhaps.
