Benjamin E. Mays: goals, dreams, stars, …
It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.

IM clients and deleting conversations
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegram_(software)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)
I sort of like the feature to edit sent messages. I can somehow tolerate, that some messages can get deleted by the sender at any time. I cannot tolerate at all, that one participant can remove an entire conversation. I think the only one of the above to not support the removal of an entire conversation is Signal.
