<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

It's a metaphysical concept, so no sense in debating it.

I find it fulfilling and productive.

It's important for many because it represents the greatest accomplishment they will ever achieve. For me, however, my work isn't over. To quote someone you might have heard, "I've experiments to run; there is research to be done for the people who are still alive." What is accomplishment but advancing? If you stop to relish in the accomplishment, you have stopped advancing and defeated the purpose of doing so in the first place. And inevitably, to not move forward is to move backward. There is no standing still.

Taking time to appreciate accomplishment is what makes them worthwhile. Accomplishment for the sake of accomplishment is meaningless; the value is in what is produced, be it feelings or material. Appreciating accomplishments allows one to fully comprehend what it is that has changed and how to best use it moving forward.
