Why must they be committed?

Would you enjoy it if you could only drive a car by sacrificing
everything else in your life? Is it wrong for people to want to drive
cars even though they are not willing to sacrifice everything else to
do so?

Why must a person practically become a martyr in order to fly?

With attitudes like that, there won't be any pilots at all one day.
Saying "if you want to fly, you must suffer in every other way" isn't
going to swell the ranks.

Granted, you can't do that if you have a family, but if you don't
care one whit about keeping up with the Joneses, you can live debt
free AND fly without breaking the bank.


Unless you have a family, as you say. Or perhaps you should abandon
your family in exchange for the celestial privilege of flying?



You're an idiot.
