In my geographical area, I know only about 10 people who might be described as trying to save the world. I would hate to have that small a pool of potential friends. Also, I think spending time on non-world-saving activities is essential to my mental health. Some of that off time happens with friends who aren't interested in saving the world. That's fine.

That's fine.

It is fine. Just so long as it is not intended as any more than tangentially relevant to the grandparent.

Not if maintaining my mental health (via social connections) is important to my ability to save the world.
