I think Anacardo, his predicament, and his underwhelming reaction to it just reminds us of our own frustrations dealing with the awkward transition to adulthood, or trying to get people with potential to have some motivation. These subjects can really dredge up personal feelings and that's why it doesn't surprise me that the venom flows freely.

Or people that have grown and reached even the smallest of accomplishments are bothered by sloth, wasted opportunity and especially wasted time. Many people have figured out that life is all about the journey and would like to help others along. I certainly take pity on those that think that they can rest on their laurels, especially at such a young and ignorant age.

A strange picture we make on our way to our chimaeras, ceaselessly marching, grudging ourselves the time for rest; indefatigable, adventurous pioneers. It is true that we shall never reach the goal; it is even more than probable that there is no such place; and if we lived for centuries and were endowed with the powers of a god, we should find ourselves not much nearer what we wanted at the end. O toiling hands of mortals! O unwearied feet, travelling ye know not whither! Soon, soon, it seems to you, you must come forth on some conspicuous hilltop, and but a little way further, against the setting sun, descry the spires of El Dorado. Little do ye know your own blessednes; for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.
