You say that people act to achieve some goal or other, instead of being creatures who are driven by causes in their past. Right?
PHILOSOPHER: Yes. YOUTH: Furthermore, as the major premise of teleology, you say that people can change.
That people are always selecting their own lifestyles. PHILOSOPHER: That is correct.
YOUTH: So I am unable to change because I myself keep repeatedly making the decision not to change.
I don’t have enough courage to choose a new lifestyle.
In other words, I do not have enough courage to be happy, and that’s why I’m unhappy.
Have I got anything wrong? PHILOSOPHER: No, you haven’t.
YOUTH: Okay, in that case, my question is, What are the real measures I should take?
What do I need to do to change my life? You haven’t explained all that yet.
PHILOSOPHER: You are right. What you should do now is make a decision to stop your current lifestyle.
For instance, earlier you said, “If only I could be someone like Y, I’d be happy.”
As long as you live that way, in the realm of the possibility of “If only such and such were the case,” you will never be able to change.
