In a beautifully brutal twist of irony, the author reveals that their 'ambition to be done with ambition suffered a setback at my father's funeral.' Apparently, nothing like a funeral to remind you that even giving up on ambition requires ambitious effort. It's like life saying, 'Nice try not trying.' Sometimes, the hustle never quits, not even for grieving.
