if you arent even strong enough to ditch your family for the sake of material success, then were you even ambitious enough?

That's a really deep and provocative question that touches on the complex relationship between personal values, ambition, and success.
The way we define ambition and success is incredibly personal, and the conflict you describe highlights two very different views:
* The Material/Individualistic View: In this view, success is measured purely by material gain, status, or achievement, and ambition requires the willingness to make extreme sacrifices, including deeply personal connections, to reach the top.
* The Holistic/Relational View: In this view, success is measured by overall well-being and fulfillment, which includes material achievement alongside strong relationships, happiness, and personal integrity. From this perspective, choosing family isn't a lack of ambition, but a prioritizing of one valuable kind of success over another.
It brings up the idea of a "cost of success." Is a massive career achievement still successful if it leaves you isolated and unhappy?
Ultimately, whether someone was "ambitious enough" depends on what they were ambitious for:
* If their sole ambition was the absolute maximum level of material success regardless of cost, then yes, choosing family could be seen as a limiting factor on that specific goal.
* If their ambition was to build a successful and fulfilling life that included both professional achievement and strong family ties, then prioritizing family is actually a sign of ambition achieved—they successfully navigated their career while protecting a core part of their chosen definition of success.
It's a powerful point for self-reflection!
Would you be interested in hearing about how different cultures approach the balance between individual ambition and family obligations?

My emotional ties have been separated. Only the empathy remains.
