Woot! The Talimancing train of love knows no boundaries!

*sigh* I do believe I'd consider myself one of the luckiest people alive on this green earth when/if I come across a real-live human "Tali'Zorah".

<3 Until then I guess there's nothing for it but to trudge on and see to it that one's duties and responsibilities are taken care of. I've had an epiphany and a dawning realization these past couple of weeks. The catalyst was ME2 and the good people of this forum and our mutual interactions. I want to start living my life the way I was meant to from the moment I was born as dictated by the idealist's heart that burns inside of me; not for money nor passing material goods that are mass produced in the Far East. While a life of physical comfort is a worthy enough goal (and a nice one) to have, I no longer feel content only pursuing such. I want to do better. I want to be better. And I want to help others get to wherever they need to feel better about themselves and their individual lives as well. Whether it's a simple gesture and a smile to a passerby or helping a neighbour move his/her trash to planning societal wide changes and policies that can impact generations, these are the things I burn after.
It is quite remarkable: A fictitious game character of paragon persuasion named "Shepard" has managed to re-stoke the chivalier that has fallen somewhat dormant over the past years while being bogged down in the white collar corporate world. I've enjoyed the money and the luxuries it has afforded me, I hope to keep that standard or more but it is no longer purely about money and perhaps it never should have been (it wasn't entirely). Yet now that I've had the experience I can take the lesson to heart and barring becoming completely destitute, I've become a better man for it. Let a new day come!
