That's a fantastic question. I'...@Susanne,<br /><br />That's a fantastic question. I'm just not sure how to answer it at this point. The truth is that I am not in a frame of mind to be a “simple living” advocate, beyond whatever it is this blog represents. I'm not even sure what I will be doing professionally going forward. Maybe it's something you should ask me once the trip is over and I've had to reassess everything.<br /><br />@lvnv4me,<br /><br />You have a point, though I think those sentiments are outside the contours of this post. If you read back you might catch glimpses of similar sentiments. But maybe a positive, inverted version of this post is required.<br /><br />@Jessica,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.

F**...Agreeing with the others here, I would add...<br /><br />F*** living your life based upon society's expectations. Find what makes your heart rejoice and follow that no matter what it is.<br /><br />BUT, isn’t it time for you to get rid of the bitterness and start the transition to...<br /><br />Halleluiah for being healthy and strong of body with only minor aches and pains.<br /><br />Halleluiah for having the strength and fortitude to do what I want to do no matter what that is.<br /><br />Halleluiah for making me an a**hole for all those years in my life when I needed to amass the money and mindset necessary for what I am doing right now. For without that attitude I too might be married with five kids, the mortgage, and still dreaming about doing what I am privileged to be living.<br /><br />Halleluiah for the ability to make enough money before I reached my “ah ha” moment to enable me to share the wealth and do what I want, when I figured out what that was.<br /><br />God bless you as you continue your journey. You are very fortunate in many ways and it is nice to see someone’s personal growth put them on the road to making them so happy in life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190582165891102950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758230923722877355.post-12820983488971552402009-07-12T07:44:32.587-04:002009-07-12T07:44:32.587-04:00Dear Jack,
I've been thinking about your fuck...Dear Jack,<br /><br />I've been thinking about your fuck you post and I have a question. I totally understand the fuck you thoughts. It's a great choice you made and I wish more people would realize that a simple life is a blessing for the earth and its societies. Simplicity is all about not wanting more and more. There are more options that lead to simplicity. You stepped out of society a little bit. Obviously there are things you don't like about society. My question for you is: if you are ever to end this new lifestyle would it be an option for you to join in again? I mean: to try to make some changes from within? Ofcourse you have influence because lots of people read this blog. But these are people that are already open for your thoughts and ideas. For example: to take a job that is perhaps less challengeing and less paid, but gives you the opportunity to influence people who perhaps don't think about these things because they haven't had the opportunities you had.<br /> <br />What are you thoughts about that? <br /><br />Grtz,<br /><br /><br /><br />SusanneSusanne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11322624305894355598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758230923722877355.post-65873735107418508862009-07-09T23:16:43.529-04:002009-07-09T23:16:43.529-04:00Dude!
