“a resolute character who completes tasks and honors commitments not for ease or comfort, but because it aligns with their chosen self-identity as someone who resolves unfinished matters.”
“He does not do these things because
they are easy or comfortable.
He does them because he has decided
who he is, and that person does not
leave open loops open.”
