RE: Why I say 'Fuck you' to society.
I think you just found a glitch in the Matrix!
The social script/consensus dictates that one individual must eventually find his or her better half. Then he has to get married, settle down, buy a house, pay for it 30 years in a row, have kids, and so on (you know, the predictable path).
Society is built upon this fundamental unit - Family.
Threaten it and you threaten society's foundation itself.
People's minds have been inoculated with this idea that anything outside the social script is bad or "not normal" as I am sure you have felt for yourself.
Hence others trying to shame you and make you feel guilty for not being in a relationship for 5 months.
Finding your own path is not easy as you will always be frowned and look down upon. You do need some strength to stay true to yourelf and walk the unbeaten path.
Congrats for having the courage to do so!
Thanks for your comment! Yes, anyone that dares break society's doctrine is a threat to everyone, right? Hah. You mention courage, but truth is I think I have used up so much of it that I may have none left now!
I left everyone behind, I started over time and time again, and I've made some tough decisions. But I still have an urge to break free again, but I'm too scared! I've tried to settle down in some respects but I'd like to do things differently. But how?
What path have you taken?
Well basically my "rebellion" is not following the social script of graduate->find job->get married->sink in debt->make kids->work your a** off to pay back debt->pretend I'm happy everytime someone comes to visit->get old->regret wasting up youth years->die as a grumpy ol' guy who forgot to dream. I am focusing on my dreams now instead of leaving them for later. Will it work? Don't know. Time will tell. Some personal events did influence me to see things differently.. too many loved ones died over the years so maybe I am kinda messed up and don't want to adhere to the social norm.
