My Ideal Way of Life

If I could choose the way I want life to be, things would be very different. I want to live a life where I never feel like I am out of time. I want to be able to have time to enjoy all the things around me. I don't want to have to be working to support myself...why should I have to spend all my time working. If all my time is spent working, then when am I actually LIVING. Living being defined here as: being able to do anything I want whenever I want, and not be restricted by a job or money. I want to live in a world with no cities. I want to live WITH nature, coexist with nature, and not deteriorate and consume nature. I don't need the stock market, no over-priced luxury items, I just need time, nature, knowledge, and love. The things I want are free (maybe not knowledge), but why are they so hard to get, therefore making it expensive. "Free things are the most expensive things in the world", that sentence actually makes sense in this situation.

  1. I agree with you saying that the free things in life are the most expensive, expensive in many ways, monetary because there may be intermediate steps that require money to enjoy the free thing you truly desire. then there's the whole issue of opportunity costs where you are probably giving up income acquired from working in pursuit of the free thing.

    i think this is just a phase by the way, sooner than you think i think you will find a balance and you will not see "working" as work but rather a career that makes you happy :)
