Re: Bruce B/Pepper P
Bruce. You cannot make choices based on a desire to save the world. You have to make choices based on what you want, rather than what you want for other people, or you'll make yourself unhappy in the long run. Selflessness is an excellent virtue, but it's not the only virtue.
I would far rather hear that you wanted to be here because you enjoy the company - not just Tony, but the others, or that you were interested by the work you've got going in the company, or, I don't know, that you liked walks in Central Park and couldn't do that on an alien planet. That you'd be lonely elsewhere.
It worries me that you're trying to be here because of other people. You're not a superhero, you're a human being.
