Careers and Conformity, Relaxation and Rebellion

You know what? Life sucks, and then you die. (For most, anyways.)

Have you ever thought that living life to today's society's standard just might not be a way to live at all? They teach us to go to school, then more school, find a job, earn money, pay taxes, get married, have kids, then send them off to do the same thing. Is there much room there to allow for exploration? expression? enlightenment? life learning? or even pure enjoyment? We all look forward to the weekend, but it's right back to the grind the system has set up and depends on. Right back to serving our duties to a government that hardly listens to the people that work for it; right back to doing as expected.

So why don't we break out of the conformity? go on a spirit journey? run away for a bit before settling down? draw, paint, or write before we do our homework? choose not to go to college but pursue an opportunity in entrepreneurship instead? Does it just not occur to people? Are they really that closed-minded?

I find it quite sad that they seem to be. I miss seeing an admirable sense of adventure in people. . . and I'm trying to make my own. So, my fellow rebels, go out upon the world and look for an adventure to chase! For the sake of the natural curious and adventurous human nature, use the day's opportunity to make this world a more interesting place. Go do something that scares you and somebody else, too. (Not too far! I don't assist in suicides!) Do something that will open the world's eyes. Make a difference, I dare you. Spread the word. Let's start a full-on Quiet Rebellion!


Until next time,

  2. I will join your quiet rebellion (mostly because I'm noticing that all the loud ones tend to have their members mutilated and killed quite mercilessly - teehee)

  4. Make life what you want...no one forces you to do anything. If you want to go on adventures, go on adventures, if you want to break out of the "MOLD" then break out. Make your life what you want it to be...I CHOSE my life, this is what I wanted. It doesn't mean you have to do the same thing. It's best to do things weird and out of the norm, it helps figure out who you are-what you like and don't like. Eventually YOU will decide on what YOU want and YOU will do it. :)
