I'll say this because it is very relevant to what you just said. The point imo of growing up is educating yourself. People come from all different molds. You saw that in the ultra conservative atmosphere you just came from. They believe what they do because they are more than likely products of their environment. If they were to be thrust into a different mold they will probably view things quite a bit differently. Not to say that any side is correct, but everyone comes from different paths if that makes any sense whatsoever?

Very true but that's where having an open mind, and being willing to adapt and change your life philosophy and beliefs when life gives you the opportunity to grow and become educated in new ways. IMO if we stay stuck in our basic upbringing and beliefs, we can never achieve our true potential as an individual.
 
I don't get why people don't understand that we aren't 'supposed' to do anything. Individuals can do whatever makes them happy as long as it's within the law (or not sometimes.) If somebody wants to live their life completely differently than I live mine, go for it. I'm not going to bash them for it. Everybody has their own personal destiny and their own past.


I agree 100%. I could just as easily say I don't understand their life choices, but I see that it makes them happy, so I'm happy for them. Conversely, I have to be unhappy because I'm not living the same life they are, according to them anyway.
 
Smart man. Thats why I call myself a modern hippie, I just want to do what makes me happy. If I'm not passionate about it, then I don't do it. Do I wanna be 70 and look back and say, "man I lived a wonderful life and loved every minute of it" or look back and say, "I didn't live the life I wanted but I have x more dollars?" I want choice number one, I only get one life I want to live it to the fullest.

If you make it to 70, you failed. Die in your 40's in bed with a girl in her 20's. You'll be much happier.
