Acting authentically in the face of survival
#23
RE: Acting authentically in the face of survival
A few people have touched on it, but I will say much the same thing but from a different view. I rejected society, money, the whole bit. What is funny for a young bloke which I was at the time without commitments, or a need to stack up wealth, I found it remarkably easy to live very far outside conventional norms even in a small over crowded island. I could not fly or even eat when I wanted, but it was handsomely self indulgent.
What was getting in my way was not the practicalities of nature, but people, hell is other people. When it is evident you are not part of society and have no status, it can be surprising how antagonistic people can become to you.
