Ambition is a pretty ambiguous term for what I think—here—means “A strong yearning for a type of success characterised by western capitalist-individualistic schema of wealth and status.” Cool if you want that I guess. But it’s narrow af.


If you work hard, in the fields, every day, perhaps one day you, too, could be a successful pharaoh like me. Said the great wise pharaoh.
