perhaps the principle to life is the will to ambition. Anything that makes your ambition higher is superior… Anything which lowers your ambition is worse?
an interesting unorthodox thought… I wonder if actually having more success more wealth, more money, more bitcoins or whatever… Reduces your ambition, which might be a bad thing? That for a lot of people if you just subtracted half of their wealth, it would revive them, reinvigorate them, give them more joy, peace, and happiness in their life?
