Is it those that try in vain that are the one's who have a broken life? Is it those that never try at all who have a broken life? Is it those that believe success is the only answer have a broken life? And what is a broken life exactly?

The whole concept of a broken life is something that has intrigued me lately. It is thrown around the net a lot, often in reference to people, who are loosing the game. The whole theory behind this concept is that people who follow scams, and delusions eventually break down, and realized that they have spent a long time chasing fake dreams. The value of living their life was forfeited for the belief that something would come from largely a vacuum.

The question is how much is this quest for significance really worth? Are we really repelling key people from us who could fill the void and need for emotional attention? Where are we getting the fuel for our soul anyways?

I believe these are questions worth asking. There is a lot that goes into our motivations in life. There may be nothing wrong with wanting to achieve success. After all most people would benefit greatly from some more money. But we must also, if the concept of a broken life holds true, we must then be weary of the mouse traps and as a result not take any particular path or truth so seriously.

What is your opinion on the subject matter?
