The Need For Reassurance
We want to be told our decisions are right. To have someone else to blame for the consequences of our decisions. Part of becoming an adult is ultimately facing with the reality we don't know, and we'll have to deal with the unknown consequences.
Rather than fearing this, we lean into it.
"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men." —John F. Kennedy
What's the worst that happens? You gain experience (education) and character development. If there's some things the government can't take from you, it's those two.
I myself desire reassurance for my decisions. My choice of poison is talking to AI about my decisions if they're the right course of actions.
Choosing the path is hard, sticking with it harder.
You’re gonna lose sleep.

You’ll doubt whether it’ll work.
You’ll stress to make ends meet.
You won’t finish your to do list.
You’ll wonder if you made the right call - and have no way to know for years.
This is what ‘hard’ feels like.
And that’s okay.
Will I blame Grok for my decisions? No. I'm the one to blame. For everything that has been put on me. How I react and act accordingly.
Ties into my faith. As a Christian, you want reassurance that your prayers have been answered. That your good deeds are counted.
It's who we are in turmoil that reveals the strength of our faith. Even when it gets bad, we know it'll become good. Although we have no evidence of it.
