LKD brought up an excellent point. This is something i've been fully conscious of for the last several years. That is to say, this is something i've been trying to consciously AVOID for the last several years. Hippies had the right idea but they went the wrong way while implementing it. Instead of living life to the fullest outside of society's boundaries they ended up being drugged-out bums. However, there ARE ways to have the best of both worlds. They require a lot of ambition and courage to even consider, and then years of hard work to carry out. But they're out there. It's possible. So no, we do NOT have to live our lives the way society wants us to. That's a recipe for disaster. A wise man once said that we should try to figure out what direction everyone is going in and then go the other way. I couldn't agree more. It's riskier, but you're just not gonna get anywhere in life if you do the same things everyone else is doing. There are simply too many people who are after pieces of that one big pie. It's better to have a larger piece of a smaller pie, than a tiny crumb from the larger pie. Anyway, it's good to see an intelligent discussion on this board! I'll check back here later to see what you guys make of all this.
