I'd work for the devil himself for 500k/year, and just convince myself he was misunderstood.
"Blood on your hands" - oh boo-boo.
Blood washes out.

Life can be very rough. It's certainly not fair, that's for sure. But there are many more possibilities and new perspectives waiting to be discovered and explored.
We are limited by our current frame of mind and past experience. If we strive to continually break through these barriers, we will never stop surprising ourselves at what we find and learn. The universe is a vast and incredible place. It is can also be quite scary and dangerous, this is true. But deep within all of us is an unrelenting urge to work together to face these dangers and overcome them. If you stop for a minute, I'm sure you can feel it.
My best wishes to you :)
The breathtaking presumptuousness and pompous assumption that my life viewpoint is holding me back is...amusing, honestly.
I mean, you have your kid get cancer, then tell me if you wouldn't take a "blood on the hands" job like...working at Facebook?? Then tell me if my life experiences limit my views, or are perhaps just different than yours.
I'm held back by my viewpoint from joining a cult. I don't see this as a loss.
That's worlds apart from what you wrote above. You said you would work for the devil himself. We weren’t talking about Facebook. Also, being overburdened with crippling medical bills for your dying child would obviously complicate the moral calculus.

Fair point... But I didn't have much to go off of. Look at what you wrote. It doesn't come across well.
This is what the internet was supposed to be. HN is the only place I've found that is still like that.
