[ live fast 👍 die young 👍 kaiser doesn't want to live with the consequences of being malnourished, uneducated, and beaten on a regular basis once he doesn't have youth to cushion all of these physical issues 👍 ]
isnt that more of an ancient greek thing? or really more of a "humans everywhere all the time" thing?
oh [ hm. ] i dont think its that simple but i guess i agree with that nonetheless
[ boy who didn't ever attend school properly... personally, kaiser would say there's bigger problems that need to be solved before the world can even get to the point of guaranteeing people can study in general... ]
everything in moderation? i dont think theres such a thing as having too much ambition, personally.
then you have the ambition to win in a way that doesnt mean you have to sacrifice anything else so, i still think what i said is true... theres no such thing as too much ambition... maybe there is such a thing as the wrong ambition, though.
fine, lets revise that: could just be his way of saying hello *to somebody he really doesnt like but one stabbing isnt enough to really judge either way, is it?

what else does a so-called renaissance man do, then
die prematurely?
[ you know, on account of lifespans back then... ]

or really
more of a "humans everywhere all the time" thing?
no subject
Yes, it's a "humans all the time" thing. It's become less of a thing with the advent of Christianity.
[Well, it wasn't just the Christians but they were the biggest culprits. And, of course, the way humans all over were obsessed with bloodlines.]

[ akashi probably meant something else by that, but this is where kaiser's mind went. ]
... well at the end of the day, humans are animals too
chasing pleasure is probably a matter of instinct
no subject
True enough.
Pleasure can be a distraction, so like most things, moderation is best.

[That's a good point, but Akashi doesn't know Kaiser didn't go to school.]
Sometimes ambition can drive away the ones you love. That's what happened with Kuroko and the rest of us.

The response was immediate. But then, after a minute of him reconsidering.]
I want to succeed and not lose the respect of people I care about. I want to be a better winner.

so, i still think what i said is true... theres no such thing as too much ambition...
maybe there is such a thing as the wrong ambition, though.
no subject
There are plenty of wrong ambitions.
