Most people end up with roughly the same outcome: a routine life as a white-collar or blue-collar worker.
But what if you don't have such global goals, but you are working towards them, enjoying the process, and generally feeling in harmony with yourself and having a clear conscience?
Although, now that I think about it, it's possible to abstractly discuss the goals of white-collar and blue-collar workers, but then "in October, it's the 15th, but I wanted it to be the 20th" comes into play.

В тихой однообразной жизни всегда так бывает: каждый отдельный день бесконечно долог, но месяцы и годы мчатся с непостижимой быстротой.

Смысл жизни в том, что жизнь на тебе не заканчивается
