What can we say about life? Well, I find it very redundant. It amazes me how the process works. We're born, we doodle around for a couple of years until we hit the age 5 or 6. Our Hell begins with elementary, middle and high school. After that, we go to college, expecting to believe the myth that it will be the best years of our lives. I mean, we can do whatever the hell we want, right? You know, getting laid, smoking some dope and getting drunk until we pass out. I guess that's what goes on every weekend while we're at classes during the weekdays. As soon as we graduate from college, we get jobs and work our asses off. Again, the typical process of working 5 days a week and people partying on weekends. This goes on for another couple of years until you meet someone special, which will probably be the high light for most people's lives (not that it's a bad thing). However, anything can go wrong. Let's say you do get married and have kids. What if your husband or wife cheats on you? Then what are you going to do, get a divorce? I'm pretty sure you will. Or, what if you are interested in someone but find out later you knocked up some other random chick you slept with at a party. Of course, you had be drunk and it wasn't meant to happen, right? Wow, looks like you're screwed there. But wait, let's not forget for those who never find anyone and just work until the day they pass away. Hmm....
Ironically, I prefer to be the single guy but I wouldn't work to pay bills but focus on becoming rich or doing whatever you can keep your mind occupied. That's if I do end up being lonely, which won't happen...or, I hope not. Or, you can have someone special while being rich, which is as feasible as the other way around, but more responsibility.
Let's say the marriage does go well and you have kids. What ends up happening is life repeats itself over again. Everything you've done in your time is now passing on to the next generation. Ha, who needs history when you can have your life planted out for you( Sarcasm)?! Now, I don't know if this is considered a problem or it maybe it isn't. I guess I believe there's more to life than living chronologically. I'm not disputing about having a family and being a parent figure but it amazes me EVERYONE seems to become one around the same time. Is it because people do not want to be left behind? I guess I can understand but isn't life suppose to be different for everyone? I was always taught that if everyone is the same then life would be boring. Huh, funny how I say that.

Maybe we look at life the wrong way. Maybe we value the materiel more than we should. Most western societies base individualism off of the things that we posses. Sure, it's politically incorrect to say that your marriage and family are possessions but it is true. We posses the state of being married, being single, having children, divorce etc.. I find it interesting that people are always attracted to the abstract idea of "being an individual" especially when they are younger. Because in the end there are only so many things we can own and the chances are, someone else does too. But the truth is that there is only one you.
Gross I ended that with some cliche motivational optimism. Now I sound like a high school counselor.
