The unmoveable bar.

how am i to manage my emotions and actions when what i think i wanted i've found, but it turns out to be something else entirely?
what if what you want doesn't matter at all? what if it's all about what you do with what you have? all...the way...to the top. to what you were after in the first place? in other words: is what you do with what you have in the interim a guarantor you'll end up getting what you want as you're perpetually contented and working?
are other people responsible for their own actions? if they are: i am. and quite frankly, i'm not taking the heat for some of the bullshit that's gone down. In fact, I'm not so sure I don't want to be responsible for their actions, because isn't there an inherent amount of power that comes with responsibility?
what does it say about having goals when you get what you want and it doesn't turn out to be what you wanted at all? are goals therefore frivolity meant to motivate us, pressure us and stress us to the point where mere relief is mistaken for accomplishment or satisfaction?
