Everyone wants to "have fun" these days. Nothing is done because it is simply an effort to achieve a goal.

Yes but if it isn't fun and doesn't have a "goal"

Okey dokey.
however if and/or when an "abridged version" of a person or thing doesn't have an auto pilot,
how will it possibly sail beneath the boston bridge?

However if there's no "destination" what's the purpose of the "journey"?

The journey itself can be purpose enough.
Never been on a circular walking track?

I think this is overly pessimistic. There are a lot of people with goals out there and I hope some of your piano students number among them 😉

If it's "overly pessimistic" will it still fly?
