People in this life here in this country are used to having a hard life, and if you are not having such problems in life; these people will not have you be a part of their soceity or community. If you are without bad credit, car payments, children, girlfriend, married and house payments or notes, somehow you are too much of a free man, and you are without responsbilities. People don't change, my friend. This life is not much different from High School. The peer pressure to be of a society, whether its the "Home owner association" or your not part of "the Married society", or having 2 children groups or you are not in a relationship or you are not fucked up in the head. They will tell you my friend, that you are insane or you need medicine for your mental state of mind. They will tell you, my friend that you need professional help, you need church or you'll need GOD or that you are not living the right way in life. This is what they will tell you.
These people (often in work places or our so-called friends) will wait inpatiencely for you to fail. In fact, some of these people will try to make you fail, so they can say that you are no better than them or (hard) life for that matter. They will fuck with your emotions. By telling you that you are living in a dream world, you are not a real man, or you are without a soul or faith. People who are interested in you will want you to settle down and enjoy true life (in most cases) enjoy the same feelings as bills, work! And the idea of traveling or being free, they will tell you that you are wasting your life with that idea or concept. They will keep your friends from being a part of your life, they will tell lies about your friends, and if you are not listening to them or following their ways, they will make your life a living hell.
With our family. We don't have any kids, girlfriends, wives, estrange wives, or lovers, not too many bills, no car payment. But, because we are free to travel whenever we want or whenever we can. It takes money to do the things we truly enjoy. However, you must pay your own way for these selfish desires. Because, many have not learned to make their lives easier or in a way that we've learned and which probably only works for a person like ourselves, they would want to make us fall. They told us lies of coming back home and starting over, helping out others and so on. But, in the end, they would want to remove the rug from underneath our feet, so we can become confused, unfocus and unaware of what we're doing or where we're going in life. They remind us of our age, as though we were unaware of that fact or that we have forgotten about it. But, You've heard so many times: you're 14, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 30 and 35 years old. You know how old you are, my friend! When does the bullshit stop? We don't need to apologize for living our life, or how we have lived it or the people that we know. It took courage and guts to do the things that we do. Our friends are a testimony to the good things we bring to life, our friends and strangers.
You've been there before! Our working envirnoment are full of these types of people. If you don't have car payments or high rent, these people (your fellow co-workers) will dump tons of paper-work at your desk, or make you answer all the incoming calls, or the manager will have you work over-time and or weekends. You've seen them before!You've been there before. . .when you applied for that job! And they asked why do you have so many blank spaces of time on your resumé. You explained about your life changes, your travels, adventures and so on, they pretended to understand, sympathize, but they maintained the role of a mental therapist only to tell you that you were wrong for living your life at your fullest and without work being the main focus or purpose. Because, these people have worked or having so many responsbilites to be the center of their lives, and how will these people react once they know that you have not lived a life like theirs? You know the answer!
People overall, my friend, want to label you one thing or another for some strange reason. They will be most content giving you a title. If you don't play a particular role, they will say that you are mister easy going, aka, lazy! Or if you are not indulging in the typical man to man talk, all of sudden, you're gay. I am not going to say that avoiding labels is easy any sometimes you may fall into a label one or another. However, imagine if you are clever enough to avoid these labels or so-called responsibilites (in which they have established for themselves) think of how much of a threat you are to society! Society accepts those who are willing to follow the rules, not the law, the rules! Going to school, getting out of school, getting a job, and getting married are just the basics. But, look deep down between those institutions. Going school, (college) costs money, and even while you are attending school, your college major plays an important role with the
people you meet. Upon your graduation from college, where are you going to work with your degree versus those who majored in Business management or accounting. Where you are going to live plays another important role as well. Those business majors spend tons of money on rent and going out-on-the-night life styles of Martinis and dating. Can you match what they are doing? You'll try for a brief moment, but THEY already know that you can never stay in the game. That this life is a game.
Peace be with you my friend,
Sidney
