If I may, it is because I spend less time thinking about what I want, and more thinking about what I want.

What's the difference...?

Consider:

You see a friend suffering. What you want is to ease that suffering.

What you want is to ease the suffering of all those you care about. To help where you can.

In service of what you want, you will aid your friend.

In service of what you want, you must indeed recognize that to help where you can, you must occasionally not help where you cannot, and your definition of 'cannot' must include a certain level of self-care and responsibility. Else you will grind yourself to the quick doing what you want, and thereby fail to achieve what you want.

[ Not for the first time, it occurs to Maruki that if only they had met sooner, a lot of heartache could have been mitigated, if not avoided outright. He's eternally grateful to have Venat's influence in his life now, but there will always be a part of him that wishes. ]

You're right, of course. It's a more macro viewpoint that I've never really been able to have. I am trying, though...

Thank you. Hopefully I won't need the reminder again.

If you do, I shall give it again. That is not a sign of weakness or folly on your part -- simply humanity. And what partners are for.
