Given how mutable I feel personalities are, I don't know how weighty a question this is when considered over longer periods of time. I'm certainly a distinct personality from who I was two, five, or ten years prior. In the interest of answering the question as it was intended, I would say I'm presently far too indolent for my liking, and I would want to exhibit a greater willingness to apply myself to the tasks at hand with energy and conviction. Alas, there are no magical switches which I can flip to create that change, so I'll have to keep working on that.

Is it better to love passionately and briefly, or to endure long years of devotion which waxes and wanes as of the ocean tides?
