Despair 16

I'm sure many of you may be experiencing a lot of stress over this transformation. However, I urge you not to worry: You'll soon get used to it!

Indeed, human beings can get used to even the most harrowing situations! However, this isn't as much of a blessing as it may appear on the surface! Many people have gotten away with the most sinister habits

Is there anything about a man who sees only despair in the world because that's all he's used to seeing?

[im_in_despair]

Absolutely!

[allthingstodust]

I would still regard the ability to adapt as an excellent one, however.

[im_in_despair]

Well, it's at least preferable to the alternative, I suppose.

[allthingstodust]

A refusal to adapt? A steadfast rock that all too quickly erodes under the constant current of time?

Exactly! If you can't adapt, then the slightest change can throw your entire life into chaos! You'd be driven to self-destruction almost immediately!

So, we must logically conclude that since adapting is dangerous, and failing to adapt is also dangerous, that there is no safe path! Adapt, and you'll be taken advantage of! Stay firm, and the world will move without you!

I'M IN DESPAIR!
Being stuck between two undesirable options has left me in despair!

That's most unfortunate. However, I believe that only refusing to adapt is the undesirable choice.

Is that so? Are you willing to support that view one hundred percent?

Re: 4/4

That would be a rather foolish point to argue, as you've already proven that, in some situations, adapting has led to downfall.
