Hey StrongFirst,
I'm currently 30 years old and I place a premium on not emulating people I don't want to be like. I tend to have a super active imagination, find humour in everything and have fun in almost every situation. I try my best to maintain minimal obligations (responsibly) and thus have more freedom to do as I please.
I just notice that as I get older, I'm in the minority.
I guess my question is why do people become so rigid? Why do people start to lose their luster and zest for life? Why do people conform and emulate people who quite frankly, die unfulfilled?
Listen, I get there are certain aspects of life that demand a level of rigidity: investing, personal finance, possibly exercise and avoiding large mistakes (unplanned pregnancy, drug addiction etc). I treat them with the seriousness the deserve.
Whenever my lifestyle is critiqued it almost seems like it stems from a point of jealousy because they don't have the flexibility or didn't make the decisions I did to maintain my freedom of choice. Misery loves company as they say.
What are your guys thoughts?
Thank you, Adam
