Perhaps I'm not making myself clear.
I'm not necessarily talking about the pursuit of a dream or goal.
I refer to my earlier example of the morphine chick; or, say, those who never graduated high school, and decide to get their GED at 72 before they die.
Accomplishments like that serve only to assuage people's feelings of inadequacy.
Completely useless and irrelevant observation, but there you have it.
