What would you do to get what you want?

[VanillaSalt]

If you wanted something bad enough, what would you do to get it? Would you change yourself, work with someone you dislike, give in to unreasonable requests? Or instead would you give up what you wanted? Perhaps grow spiteful? Would your pride or morality get in the way?

I’m curious. What would you be willing to do to get something you desperately want?

[Sonorous]

Ultimately depends on the scanario. Generally, I feel that my pride definitely would not get in the way. However, depending on what I'd have to sacrifice, my decision would likely have more to do with self-respect than anything.

Because the people around us influence and impact us in ways we don't realize! Shit is powerful! And can be severely harmful to us in ways we may not be able to foresee. And if I would have to hang around someone that my very being is objecting to? Yeah no. I likely wouldn't want to risk it.

But of course, depends on the circumstance. Sometimes it's worth it, and sometimes it's not. Sometimes we really don't know what an outcome will be until we gamble. And some things are worth the gamble. 🤔

[VanillaSalt]

So basically shaming? People are encouraged from bad behavior because of the stigma that comes with it like slut shaming and fat shaming?

[StunningANDbrave]

Pride is ultimately foolish and won't serve you. If I want something I get it through work and dedication, If I don't know something that can lead to that I buy a book and learn about it, strive to be more competent as confidence is a byproduct of competence.

[aWes0MeNeSs]

It depends on what it was, how badly I wanted it, and if it was worth whatever was needed to get it.

[Aimée__LJ]

I think if you have to change yourself to get what you want it's probably not worth it.

[VanillaSalt]

Well I argue at the same time being unwilling or unable to change is just as bad. Assuming what you want is a person or job your unwillingness to bend will rule out possibilities.

@Aimée__LJ
What about most men in regards to getting a female partner?

[Aimée__LJ]

@MCheetah I guess what I mean is really if you are going to change it should be for yourself not for anyone else. I think changing for something or someone isn't authentic and is most likely temporary.

[VanillaSalt]

But... if you gotta be better to get what you want... then changing to be better would by your own words be acceptable and unacceptable.

[Aimée__LJ]

If you're changing to get what you want then you're probably not the best you, you can be. It all depends on the circumstance.

[VanillaSalt]

Your never the best you there’s always room for improvement. Who determines what change is acceptable and what change isn’t. I think people are too focused on being happy and miss the point.

[exitseven]

I work really hard and if things go sideways i make a plan to either deal with the problem or sneak around it somehow.

[Adam1978]

I have a tendency to not care enough to actually want something that bad. It's really a bad way of starting a trade.

[VanillaSalt]

So you have no drive or ambition?

[Adam1978]

Not that I build on other people no. That's a too unstable ground.

[VanillaSalt]

I didn’t mention other people.

[Adam1978]

Well that the only obstacles. It's not like I will be in my own way to reach something I want. So if no people are involved the thing is as good as mine, it's just a matter of time.

[VanillaSalt]

So you expect to get it eventually if you don’t try hard for it? Like I said no drive or ambition from what your telling me.

[Adam1978]

Yeah like just being happy with what you got is a bad thing. Continue to hunt the next adreline shot for the rest of your life hunting for things you don't really need. I have everything I need right now, so me putting in an effort for something I don't need is kind of the same as wasting my life. I rather spend my life doing stuff I want then keep running after a carrot in a string. That companies try to put there.

[MCheetah]

Anything up until hurting people. I'd fight for love.

[VanillaSalt]

If you had 3 bullets and 10 people trying to kill you would you shoot 3 knowing you couldn’t save yourself? If you even have to think about it you’re lying.

[MCheetah]

That's not in relation to the question though. I have no problem hurting people in self defense, but I wouldn't hurt someone just to get a wish.

[VanillaSalt]

So you don’t wanna live? I didn’t put stipulations on what was wanted maybe what you want is to live maybe it’s a peaceful life perhaps just want money idc... what will you do to get what you want though.

[Gray-Wisp]

Deport a significant portion of the population, but at that point we're mixing the method with the objective.

[TheBigGuy9]

I would do anything that still leaves me feeling honest in my heart.

[VanillaSalt]

Hum. I wonder if you’d ever be honest if you must. Like stealing food to feed your family if it was the only way. Though if you could justify it then you’d still feel honest in your heart so I like this answer.

[Viciously84]

Anything that wouldn't involve initiating violence of lying.

[VanillaSalt]

Your names viciously... and some things should be backed by violence in my opinion.

[King-of-Evil]

I already have everything I want
