Re: the comment, yeah, I anticipated something like that, which is why I added "or some other trivially inconvenient state of mind".
Interestingly enough, I'd have to double-check with Lazarus but from my current understanding of the theory involved it is possible to have a unique shren, the same way you get a shren parunia.
Given I'd be, one, a baby, and two, partly through a 20-year course of esu... I'd say it depends. If it was after I invented the word e'sisaak but before things got really bad, I bet I'd be stubborn. If it was while things were in the middle of getting really bad, it would depend what mood they caught me in. If it was after things had definitely gotten really bad, I'd probably stick it out just because I was constantly living in the victory-at-any-cost state of mind at that point.
But if I did decide to give up shrenhood as a baby, it would probably take me only a few more decades to figure out that I regretted it. Whether or not I'd regret it enough to change back... I really couldn't say.
