Summary: "Then why try, at all?"


"So, let me get something straight about you."

"Sure; fire away."

"You've set yourself a goal that you won't tell anybody about in detail."

"That's right."

"And you don't have any plan, any resources available to you that you can lean on. That is what you told me, isn't it?"

"Word for word. That's absolutely what I said."

"Well, that sounds pretty futile, don't you think?"

"Not necessarily. I mean, I can understand where you're coming from, asking a question like that. I am off to a rough start."

"Then why try, at all?"

"Because it means something to me."
