      They think they have figured out some other secret other than freedom to make mistakes because they have the financial backing to make them is what sets them apart.

      Life is full of people thinking that if other follow their exact steps it will work without realizing the things they have differently, such as money and resources, even just skills or biological quirks, do make quite the difference in being able to followed.

      I’m not against them sharing it worked for them but that’s as far as I feel it goes.

        Just because the variables are different doesn’t mean you can’t find a correct answer. There are no two situations that are the exact same. The comic is just a success story for motivation… is it really that deep? Pessimism must be exhausting.

          In life there really isn’t correct answers. There are your answers. Everything comes with a heavy dose of reality being complicated.
          I would say it doesn’t really speak to motivation. Their motivation was to leave everything behind and start over which isn’t very motivating past being able to do so. It doesn’t lead to happiness it just changes the days you have which may feel better while it still feels new.

          Everything we share is a chance for others to understand us more. It might not be deep but it is a perspective shared that I’m just pushing back against.

          Is it really pessimistic to just disagree with a point of view that I find to be a poor message or is it that way cause you want to assume the motivation is correct to handling life?

          Why can’t it just be that this is my perspective that I share out for others?

        Life is also full of people thinking that if others followed their exact steps there would be no way they could turn their life around. They’re often just as wrong.

          Yeah, the logic seems sound but is a bit what-about.

          The problem is that it is a lot of luck and some strong resolve but the luck is very important.
          People should grab the reigns of their life and try to get out of a bad situation but if life paths barely work for motivation then life paths to get out of sharing the same odds does make it quite the uphill battle.

          I just want to recognize that as trying so hard to get that perfect life turnaround is like winning the lottery and while people shouldn’t stop trying I don’t want them to be burned out by the lack of response to their efforts in this complicated world.

      There are almost always ways to get help if needed. You just have to want to find it and be willing to accept what help is given.

      The comic reads more like “I had an intrusive thought once, and mistook it for being suicidal”.

      …good thing he alread had friends, a plan, and a therapist… Oh, and a lake to visit regularly at night. Smacks of privilege.
