do you ever think about the road not taken?

Those who are completely content have no reason to ask “what if” at all. That is my meaning.

And are you wanting to talk about it? Specifically as it applies to you.

[madannoshashu]

ehh

not really that interested in talking about stuff in great detail. even as far as whacky experiences go, mine are pretty atypical so I wouldn’t expect anyone to understand the how’s, what’s, or why’s

i just figured i’d do something a little different and open the floor to discussion


what about you?

[supersoldier]

If you’re fine with philosophizing without going into detail, then you’ve achieved your goal.

[Seems to be the general trend of this post.

Not that Sephiroth is intent to break it. A part of him nearly didn’t want to respond to this at all, anon or no.]

I’ve walked one path my entire life. I’m not expected to question it but, rarely, that isn’t always how the wandering mind works.

[madannoshashu]

well, my goal was to get people talking, and that bit definitely worked out

[ He wasn’t really aiming to philosophize - just to re-center his own thoughts, so to speak, by talking to other people. ]

nope, sure isn’t. i’ve been on one path my entire life too, and there’s been plenty of times i’ve asked myself “what the hell am i doing”, BUT i’ve stuck with it

you might not want to, in your case; depends on the questions you find yourself asking

[supersoldier]

[And divulging those questions would be going into specificity he’d rather avoid.]

Questions concerning purpose. But that’s human nature.

What made you so sure that your own choice was the right one?

[madannoshashu]

questions of purpose are always the best kind

depends on what you mean by “the right one”, doesn’t it? once you put enough time and effort into a goal, stubbornness says you keep going no matter what

in my case, fate just so happened to take care of the rest

[supersoldier]

Stubbornness. Fate. Another way of saying you didn’t want to waste the effort, or your path was carved by outside influences.

Are you happy with how things are now?

[madannoshashu]

well, i could be happier since killing time here isn't really how i envisioned celebrating my success. as far as vacation spots go, it’s not too bad, though.


and you? how are your questions of purpose coming along?

[supersoldier]

You and I will have to disagree with that much.

As for your question, consider it put on hold for now.

[As long as he's here in this world, it's impossible to feel anything but stagnant thus far.]

[madannoshashu]

what? not a fan of the climate? the people? the furry? or are you just a stern, stiff sorta person?


on hold but not forgotten, i'm sure. you might as well have some fun while you're here, though, since there isn't much else to do.

[supersoldier]

[Sephiroth...have fun...while he's here.....impossible]

Not a fan of being forcefully stolen from home and forced to exist on another. I'm starting to think more people should take issue with that than they do.

[madannoshashu]

[ It's fine, he can introduce you later!! ]

ehh

i'm sure there's some people who wanna go home, but the locals are pretty welcoming so that likely helps smooth things over a bit

never been to a place before where holding hands could be monetized, but it's not all bad

[supersoldier]

Some of us prefer utilizing money the old fashioned way.

Are you implying that you don't care much about returning to your planet?
