    So why don't make the best of the time in between?
    I know so little people who really make the best of their lives and it quite saddens me actually.

    Most people are 'satisfied' with something below average, like working off their asses until retirement to pay bills they do not even need.
    Or to wallow in the comfort of their environments womb.

    Life if for living, nights are for dancing with the devil. On the edge, life is most fulfilling and satisfying. But then, my opinion is just another silent scream in an endless ocean of ideas.

    Its not just another silent scream in an endless ocean of ideas. It's more a silent scream in an endless ocean of the same idea.

    No, there are an infinite amount of ideas - same and different.

    So then why do people not realise they are living a cliche instead of a valuable life?

    well then you'd need to define "valuable" because to different people different things are valuable.

    Is living as fast as you can really more valuable than taking it easy?

    I do not know where the edge lies.

    It may be in the middle. [​IMG]

    Well said.

    All in all, do whatever the fuck makes you feel like this life is worth living.



    On the other hand, I agree with Birdy... one must live life. I feel a constant hunger to live... but I also realize that I cannot simply be so free. We have to work, we have to study, and so on and so forth. It's easy for someone who's financially secure to have such open philosophies... but yet again, it really isn't hard to achieve financial security in this modern society as long as one is actually willing to put effort into it.

    Extremely easily...

    We are animal, after all.

    Must people are afraid of change, not comfortable with it, and take a whole lot of comfort out of familiar surroundings.

    Try to take a cat to a new house... it will flip out.

    Nothing wrong with working if you make the best of working and don't mind it and use the money to have and do the things you want to make you happy... but yeah, making the best of your life, I totally agree. I despise misreble people who do nothing to change their live and complain all the time.

    Eventually you'll learn to enjoy routine. It seems to come to almost everyone with age.

    I see myself finding a whole lot of comfort in small and minor routines as I've grown. I enjoy having a simple little morning routine, but all in all... our lives are already so based around routines that it's hard to escape the routine.

    i have always been that same way, and it can be tough because you fall into things in life, and before you know it you have been doing the same for 5 years, but by then you can deal with it so it seems hard to break free.

    I have been feeling that this summer a lot, and trying to think of what I might like to be doing more, or also

    Its been quite a while that I have been living a split life

    It's nice to have routine for a while, where everything is stable and secure but after a certain time it gets boring and then I want change even if it's scary at the same time.
