Foolishness is not telling him to give up on his happiness and abandon those who love and support him through thick and thin in favor of assholes who abuse him and reject him and kicked him out of his home...
You are not wise just because you think everyone else admires mindless obedience to tradition and shallow performances of physical strength. Being able to lift heavy things is not an important quality about a person, and it's definitely not a worthy life goal.
You remind me a lot of a common analysis of fascism: it's an empty ideology based on nothing but an aesthetic style. It's the appearance of being strong without any kind of substantial strength or coherent consistency underneath it to make it real. That's what you sound like - you're admiring the strength stat and trying to disguise that by claiming it's foolish to do anything other optimize his stats.
That's not what a friend would do. At all. And it is indeed foolish to confuse numbers on a character sheet with the person's happiness. Show me on his sheet where his desire to be a monk being his driving ambition in life is recorded. Where? Under the feats tab? What is the bonus it gives?
That's foolish. Thinking your video game optimization is wisdom.
You are a fool. And not a good friend. You are one of his abusers, you're just like the other people who ruined his life and poisoned his faith in himself.
You're a young, immature fool. Listen to this and understand it before you respond. And it'll take you years to understand it.
