The Interview
During our interview, I asked Issac in the interview who he would reconcile with. “No one,” he replied, “I don’t really have any enemies.” Issac appears to be easygoing and doesn’t choose to harbor grudges against those who have harmed him. I completely agree with him as our time on earth is too short to keep grudges against people who hurt us. With all the complicated things that happen to us in our daily lives the last thing we should be letting bother or hinder us should be our hatred towards other people.
If I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted, I would choose to be wealthy. The major reason I would want to be wealthy is so that I could live comfortably and assist my family and loved ones. Another reason I choose to be wealthy is that anything greater would be excessive, such as becoming a deity, controlling time, or being immortal. I want to be able to experience the world as it is, without the ability to change it. I’d nonetheless prefer to be human and do normal things like get married, have kids, and eventually die because I think having unlimited power would bore me after a while, therefore I’d rather live happily then die peacefully someday.
I totally agree with AJ as being wealthy can solve many of your problems even though there are many who say money can’t buy happiness which I disagree with. With unlimited wealth I can make it so my parents can retire happily living out their lives however they want. Furthermore, I get the fact that having an unlimited life span or “unlimited power” as AJ said might bore him because without being able to share it you’ll just be watching everyone you care about slowly wither away.
I agree with every point made. Life is most definitely too short to hold onto the past. It is vital to focus on the things you can control. Your view on excessive power is refreshing. Just being able to support yourself, your aspirations, and your family with ease is the dream, as well as using the time you have on earth to the fullest!
I agree that life is too short to hold onto grudges. You just live happier without a continuation of hatred towards any individuals. Although, I don’t know if that would hold true if someone were to murder one of my family members or friends. In that scenario, I would probably have a grudge against that murderer until I die.
Totally understandable I’d hate it if someone murdered my family member, but the way I see it we all deserve peace of mind from hatred.
I agree with Isaac, I think it is pointless to hold any type of resentment/hate towards those who have hurt you because at the end of the day it would only end up harming you more. A smarter decision would be to focus on yourself and learn how to grow from it.
