    I'm having to reconsider my goals in limbo, believing which path should one take? There lay a path before us, but the path forks into two separate branches. One road shall grant us happiness for a long time, but only after we suffer through the journey towards that moment of happiness. The other road shall offer us less or no suffering, but the happiness we receive is short. Which way would one be willing to enter to the very end? There are no alternatives once taken and no going back as life has no actual redoes. It's a matter of strength if one is willing to sacrifice a lot to achieve their own goal in life.

    Both are important, when you fap but can't climax or when you climax out of nowhere in your pants without fapping. Both can be unpleasant. One needs balance. :hmm:

    If you talking about happiness, then enjoying the moment is better because you won't know what will happen later (unless you can guarantee it). But if you talking about short-time decision, then the result is all matters (at least for me).

    I choose the road shall grant us happiness for a long time, but only after we suffer through the journey towards that moment of happiness.
    The reason I choose this road is because. My philosophy on life is that often times the best path is the path of hardship. The easy path is usually the wrong path. At least that’s what I believe in.

    as the saying goes,
    先甜后苦
    or is it
    先苦后甜?
    I don't actually know.
    usually I'd be very lazy with life decisions, but I would try to be greedy and obtain as much happiness as I want

    Is this suffering and happiness defined based on the standard of the general population, or is it adjusted based on the person involved?

    To someone in the first world, a daily life with no air conditioning, no internet, no indoor toilet is suffering through hardship. To someone in the third world, the exact same thing is considered as little to no suffering at all.

    Why does this sound like me discovering NU?
    Road 1 is where I discover a good novel but the wait for a new release is a torment and every time there's a release, happiness can't be contained whereas Road 2 is when I try to MTL a novel due to impatience and end up getting to know the plot but it doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth because of the shitty English I had to read.
