In all my years of living I have come to many realizations about this ocean of chaos we call life. And although I'm sure its surprising to read that someone like me is even capable of such concepts, you should take solace in the idea that my view of reality makes me happy and comfortable with the inevitabilities of life. Let me explain...

I see life differently than most people. And let's assume that most people don't understand a lot about it for the sake of this text. By this I mean that people are easily swayed to believe one thing without even batting an eye and are susceptible to just laying down and excepting brainwashing as truth. It may seem that I'm speaking directly towards you personally, but I mean this is a broad sense. In simple terms, most people just accept life for "what it is." Well I chose to stray down a different path.

The typical goal of a human being consists of only a few things. Get a job, get a house and basically pay for it until you die and leave your family with the bills. The same could be said for any culture, but in different terms. I.e. get a skill, build a hut and live in it until you die .... be the successor to a throne and rule it until you die, etc. The point being that the general idea is to secure a piece of ground and maintain it until you simply can't anymore. It makes perfect sense. People have a need to feel secure in all aspects of life and god bless them for doing so. The problem with this is the way that people have to live to obtain this luxury.

Most people spend half of their lives in school, training and work just so they can get by on the bills and rent. Half their lives. Before I learned the reason people did this, I wondered why in the hell they did it. They do it because they are basically told to do it. Whether it be directly or subconsciously. Read, hear or watch anything and you'll see the signs of brainwashing commanding that you follow these strict rules that have been set in order. Who set these rules? Who cares? That's not important really. What's important is being able to see through "their view of reality" and build your own, like I have.

My basic view is very simple. You only get 70-90 years to live if you're lucky. Its scary if you actually sit down and think about it. Most of you reading this are in your teens and don't really have a concept of "time going by to fast" so it may be hard to understand this. Its very simple though. Life is extremely short. One day you're sitting there 15 years old stressing about wtf you're going to do in life, and in the blink of an eye you're 30+ years old with not very much left of life. I'm only 25, but I have realized this for a very long time. Getting back to my view, this whole insane idea of wasting half your life to ensure that you can live in a nice house and have fancy things until you die in ridiculous to me. Think of all that time that could have been spent just enjoying being alive.

What is the point of life? I believe it is to experience as much as humanly possible and to literally have zero concern while doing it. I don't want to get into anything religious but I think like this; (regardless of personal belief) If I created some gigantic amusement park that had trillions of things to do in it, I wouldn't want my visitors to spend half the time being trained how to enjoy it. I would want them to just enjoy it one hundred percent of the time. Regardless of consequence, regardless of incorrectness and regardless of humiliation. This is how I believe life should be lived. Do what you want, when you want, where you want without a care in the world. The problem is that this clashes with the set reality that we are supposed to be abiding by, and can land people in serious trouble depending on certain circumstances.

But when you think about anything that you worry about, it always comes down to one thing. What you've been informed should scare you. Nothing should scare you except death really. If that's the only thing holding you back from doing anything, then all you have to realize is that you're going to die someday anyways, so why not just fucking do it anyways? Why not just leave, travel the world, meet different people, experience different cultures, get injured, sleep in strange places and experience as many people as you can and never settle down for one moment? I think its because its extremely hard for someone to dissolve the notion that its a stupid idea. And that if they do that, they'll end up destitute and homeless and become some outcast of society. That, to me, is living life completely restricted and basically isn't living life at all...


Its really hard for me to explain this without going into extreme detail and if you did indeed read all of this, thanks. I've been in the mood of thinking about this lately and I felt I should give some insight into my mind for everyone to read and judge. I know some foolish clowns here will think this is silly and ridiculous. But like I said before, I couldn't care less about consequence, incorrectness or humiliation. If this inspires people, good. If not, oh well.



Have a nice life Smile

Oh and one more thing, INB4 TL ; DR Awesome face

Knucks,

Although I agree that one should not live life in fear of what is expected of them and should enjoy its experiences to the fullest.
I think that when you meet a person you love and have children, you start to think of other people before yourself.
That is when one wants to have enough money to give them the things that makes their lives the fullest.
A nice home for your wife, all of the possessions your children want, to feel like they fit in their peer group. Giving them the chance to have many experiences, to help decide what they want to become. Being able to provide a college education for them so they don't have to struggle through life trying to provide for their family.

Life is not about possession but it does become about sharing and providing for others that you care about.
That becomes one of life's greatest experiences , until then one should try and experience every other thing life has to offer.

But your fundamental concept remains.
It is not about how much you make, it is about how much you make out of it..

I would add that, ultimately , it is who you can share it with...

I definitely agree with this, but the only problem is that if you don't waste half your life in school, then you can't get a good job because you don't have a college degree. Then the next thing you know you're working at Mcdonalds. It's sad but it's the truth


This is exactly what I'm talking about. You only think that's the "truth" because you've never known any other outcome for deciding to live life rather than spend half of it nose deep in a book. My post wasn't necessarily advising against school really either. If that's what you want do define your life as, awesome.

I didn't touch on this because I didn't think anyone would really bring it up. Obviously everything I said goes out the window if have children or someone to take care of.

Personal responsibility is also a major burden in life. For example, say that you're in your mid 20s and you need to care of your family. The consequences of bearing that responsibility is that you're unable to travel around the world and live how you want to live. However, if you abandon your responsibility then you would have to face the consequence of bearing guilt and looking at yourself as a bad person.

It's funny. When most people see someone who has great responsibility they're like, "Oh, he's a good guy. I wish everyone else was like him." However, how many people would walk down that path. How many people would restrict their lives for the responsibility they bear?

Personal responsibility can be thought to be the line of being able to live life to the fullest.
