So fragile There's no guarantee that those will continue to be manifested in one individual in various circumstances I've spent so many years in vain attempts to perpetuate those traits onto myself But I now realize that my current self can't guarantee or impose those traits on my future self My future self should obtain those traits solely on his own It's never-ending endeavor, never-ending fight, never-ending cope It's hard It's frustrating to admit that fact Of course, I admit that 1. habit 2. environment can be helpful in prolonging the obtainment of those traits But establishing and heavily relying on them are not a 'perfect' solution (can be a good, and even great solution) (Why? Almost all successful people in the world, they preach about effort / passion / perseverance / perspiration But hilariously, in different fields, they can't be significant, even if they try hard in those fields The truth is, that their success is mostly based on their inclinations Relying on habit and environment is, like making 'dependency' in that: Your initial ability to obtain those virtues in totally different fields from scratch diminishes, as you become 'dependent' on the specific establishment Once the establishment is disrupted, you lose much) A better solution is to admit the impermanence and fragility of those virtues and to cope endlessly, even though that feels tremendously burdensome and exhausting This solution is like a light-weight and micro-framework, which is more fundamental, and leaves us more leeway and freedom Sisyphus...
