You're not free, you are in denial. I'd hate to plant this thought in your head but thinking about what happens after the vacation is going to ruin most of the vacation for you. Reality sucks, especially if it hits you like a truck.Originally posted by bipolarbear

it's not all bad.
One of the good things is work gives you money. And you can do lots of things with money. In ways, work gives you more capacity to do more things in life because you actually have money to do it.Comment

HS introduces you to life, and it is totally insane. A good introduction for work and society in fact. Just remember it's a little ball circleing an obscure star in an unfashionable spiral arm of a rather dull galaxy, and you'll retain some small grasp on reality.Long time member @ Apolyton

As great as highschool was, no amount of money would send me back now that I've gotten myself into the university system.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Very true. He should give college a shot. It'll delay the inevitable at least another four years.

Well if you let them.Work and marriage suck the life out of you faster than Dracula.
I like to try to make it a good day, not have one.
Assuming an active role in your life and admitting your responsibility cna really lead to some satisfying moments regardless of your situation.
I like Aristotle's thing about how happiness is a way of approaching all things that you do in life.
Either way, the world may be harsh and impossible ot change. However I can still change myself and thus - I - have the power to make life not suck.
Either way, I'm gonna go walk and get my diploma in about two hours now.
I have my cigar all nice and ready. Its a Macanudo. 8$, the most money I've ever spent on a cigar. But four years is the msot time I've spent working toward one goal in my life.Comment

Nice. I once bought a box of Cubans over in the middle east 20 years ago. Got the most expensive ones in the store (wrapped and in their own individual aluminum tubes). Surprisingly enough, I managed to get them into the country legally and passed them out to my family.Originally posted by bipolarbear

Sorry if I've been a bit of a downer, it comes with experience. Life is what you make of it. Don't set your short term goals too high.
