Q: "So if I shouldn't improve, then am I supposed to sit on the couch all day?"

A: Well, let's question what you mean by Improve.

Q: Improve at a skill?

A: That's fine. There are better and worse race car drivers. OK, so you're better. Now what?

Q: Improve on lots of skills. Make a repertoire.

A: What about this? Does it make your self any better?

Q: Because now you can help people.

A: Help them how?

Q: Save their lives, possibly. Indeed, is a world-class pediatric surgeon better than someone leeching off social welfare?

A: Do you think someone becomes a world-class pediatric surgeon through self-improvement?

Q: Perhaps not. Plenty of good people recognize the value of saving children's lives and do hardly anything to equip themselves to do it.

A: A "Should" that claims the capacity to produce a world-class individual is leeching credibility from a purer energy source. A human is naturally meant for greatness, meant for evolution, and encounters a Should that becomes like a Remora fish flaunting its conquests…
