Heh, I was in one of my depressing, philosophical moods earlier (feeling wrong and weird about the "machinelike", "mechanized" aspect of life as a living organism. How everything can be broken down - if it's all "just" biology and chemicals is it right or acceptable to value anything, including other people), that got me thinking about this again. That nihilistic mode always, always hits right when I start to feel ambitious, right when I'm dreaming up all kinds of ways to better myself, to do amazing, worthwhile things. Or just cool or useful things. But something creeps in to make me feel ashamed of wanting anything at all, or even ashamed of existing.
The thing about no guarantees is another stumbling block. If there's no guarantee of success why even bother? Why waste your time?
