What's Your Endgame

I don't plan out far into the future.
To go with the flow is my preference.

jesus christ, what a depressing question. what i hope to accomplish before i die...um, well, sadly all i hope is to get to a place where i don't feel like i need to improve because i'm happy with how things are. peace.

I'm curious what your endgame is.

Ha! I read the title of the thread and my first thought was death of course. Same as everyone. Checkmate life, game over.

I don't know if I'd call it an end-game, but my ultimate goal is two-fold. Create something greater than myself, and discover the ultimate truth about this facade we call reality. I don't know if either one of those things can ever really be considered "done," which is what motivates me.

Now that my kids are adults, it's to do stuff that I enjoy.

My ultimate objective is to my overall happy in life and satisfied with where I am and where I'm heading. I've pretty much reached the objective... so as long as I stay on that path.. it's all good.. I can die whenever lol I'd rather not die yet though.

I want as much control as possible. Whenever I have a chance, I extend my roots, letting tendrils of power seep through as many areas of life as possible. It's all in the long game. These roots are going to tighten at some point and strangle everything and everyone inside. The larger the reach, the better. The best joy in life is to orchestrate life itself. To be God. Nothing I enjoy more than just playing puppetmaster.

To have figured out if I have values beyond base instinct and to pursue those

The opening and middle game I have a concrete vision of what I'd be doing-- End game is a blur and vague and not tangible

if you clean your house and take baths, you have values. nothing instinctual about those things. i find my values are never things i'm passionate about. passionate values require more socialization than I like. but i can run down a list and say what i consider the right way and wrong way. hardly ever means i act on them. that's something rich, socialites do. though, now that i'm becoming aged I like to think I'm in the progress of working on them. I've bought lots of reusable grocery bags. I never use them, but it's a start.

Like I said, I just have base instincts

I thought about helping at the animal shelter... I never did it, BUT I did think about it.
