Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Joe was at a loss for words.

Keegan looked at him, “So you don’t like it, but you don’t want to change it?”

Joe remained silent.

Why did it feel like he was getting a lecture from the top student back in high school? Serious, but to the point.

He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but no words came out. After a while, he finally said, “I didn’t think that far.” He had only been focused on defying his family.

Keegan said, “Your life is your own. Whether you take it seriously or just go through the motions, it’s still your life. Ignoring what you don’t like won’t make it go away. Just getting by won’t solve the problem; it’ll still be there.”

“You go through school half-heartedly, graduate half-heartedly, then maybe you get a job or stay at home. And then what? Is that the life you want?”

Joe stared at Keegan for a long time before admitting, “No.”

He didn’t enjoy his major, so he didn’t put in much effort, just wanting to graduate quickly. But as Keegan pointed out, what happens after graduation? Should he find a job in his field or just work at his family’s company? Neither option appealed to him. He’d spent four years just getting by and gained nothing.
