And if he would later show off when he has a beer with his friends, or tells his grandchildren about how he got scarface (ergo experience pride), would that lessen his achievements?
It would be unwise in that instance... Kind of like those retarded criminals posting videos on tubes for the world to contemplate their deeds, basically confessing their crime. It's silly.
Not wasting time in futility. As in, being efficient and professional. Is that something to take pride in?
It's not a question of pride. You stick to what's necessary, nothing more, nothing less. There are enough rooms for errors and hazard already.
The fundamental difference between good and evil, is that, unlike evil, you can stop doing good anytime you want.
And when it comes to scarface, this is also part of the story of "tony montana"/al pacino. He does evil, since pretty much the beginning of the movie, he's a criminal escaped from castro's prisons. And he makes his way top the top through drug trafficking and assassinations. But at some point, he's asked to do something that goes against his personal moral code. And from there, shit starts to go south.
It's not a question of pride. You stick to what's necessary, nothing more, nothing less.
The only necessity is basically shelter and food.
What is wrong about having an internal drive to achieve more than basic necessities?
No, I'm talking about sticking to what's necessary in order to attain a given objective, as opposed to adding any shit you can think of that is not required/necessary just because blah
Like a machine.
Would being more like a machine (efficient, providing utility, not being easily distractable etc...) make you feel superior over others?
