Is it gratifying? Is it scalable?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why does Western Society have a fixation on &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; doing things that make sense &lt;i&gt;for the rest of your life&lt;/i&gt;?&lt;p&gt;Who cares how long it will last. Who cares about &lt;i&gt;The rest of your life&lt;/i&gt;. Do something that&amp;#x27;s interesting NOW.&lt;p&gt;Let him enjoy it for however long he wants. When he doesn&amp;#x27;t enjoy it, or it doesn&amp;#x27;t work anymore, he&amp;#x27;ll find something else to do that he finds interesting. That&amp;#x27;s great for him! Maybe it&amp;#x27;s not the life you want, but that&amp;#x27;s not what we&amp;#x27;re talking about.</text></comment>
