What a great prompt! I would love to spend my time with the people I love best, in a place I love, doing things that I love. For example, I would love to go to a family trip to France, and eat delicious pastries.
I love that idea! I might spend a lot of time at the grocery store just to walk around, because I just simply love the grocery store. Also DI. I love DI.
I love the grocery store too! And the DI!
French pastries! Delish!
I have some ethical questions about traveling abroad a lot though. There is a large carbon cost to flying on an airplane.
That is very true. How much of a difference do you think it makes on the envirnment?
A huge difference! I should find resources to back up my beliefs, but someone told me flying to Europe had the same carbon cost as driving a hummer for a year. That is a lot of C02!
That's way crazy! I guess most people don't really think about that kind of thing.
Yeah, it would be good if more of us thought more about it. I need to be more aware of it myself. I drive a lot of places that I could easily bike to.
I mostly bike or run to places with a different motivation. Like to be fit and stuff.
That is a great motivation too. There are so many reasons to bike or run! It helps the body, and the environment!
That is the truth! I spent a couple weeks this spring training for a 5k and it was super fun! I just need to get back into it. Do you have any running tips?
That's awesome! I need to get back into running too. I ran a marathon for the first time last year, but I haven't ran consistently since then. I'm hoping to run a 10k in a few weeks! Consistency is my only running tip. I've had a lot of experience running from orcs, goblins, and the likes.
Oh my. High adrenaline running is what I call that. :) What 10 k are you running?
I don't remember what it is called. Probably Gandald Gandalf's Gallop or something like that. Haha!
Hey! If they have any spots open, I'm in! The wizarding world is not that in to running if I'm honest.
I'm surprised to hear that. Harry seems to run a lot in the movies. I guess if you could teleport, running becomes less useful. For transportation at least.
True. And better for the environment.
Back to our original question, what should be the reason we should choose something if money was no object? Should we choose it because it is fun for ourselves? Or good for other people? Or good for the environment?
Good for other people I hope. Humanitarian work might be a great option! I've never done much though, have you?
That's a good idea! I haven't done very much. I I would like to do more though. I have a friend who evaluated a non-profit organization for an internship. It was a really awesome thing to do!
Wow! I would love doing that for an internship! I have some friends who are maybe going to do some of that next fall instead of school!
That is awesome! I'd love to take a break to do something like that, but it is hard to leave school. Well, thanks for the chat!
Hey
