The basic question is... How could you live your life to be sure you will learn what needs to be learned, and aside this you enjoy the other pleasures of life?

Coming to an equilibrium?I came to a point in my short life (heck, I'm 18!) to realize that it's no time for everything I want to do, and I just think that I need some things to keep my mental health, to feel good, but I also need to keep an eye on everything else, to be sure I'm not left out, and trailing in the journey to become a wiser person.Voted for by zink.
In generally, thinking about decisions and situations takes a lot of time and energy, so I'm left with so little time to do things for myself, and in some way, I forget to have fun. And I come to another question: What is quality fun and what is quality time spent for thinking things? I think there's a way for balancing these types of activities, but... I can't find the solution. I realize some days I don't do anything, just lay around and I'm not even happy for doing that, but it's so hard for me to do something I'm not really in the mood to do...
Have you got any answers for me? I'm expecting you to say whatever you like about this and state your opinions. -
Maybe it's just where I am in life...N AWI don't think it's making sure I'm always happy. I think it's making sure I'm never afraid. And generally, I am not afraid of things. Go figure, you know? But seriously? It's just living for what your ready for. If you are 16 and know you could live on your own and be safe and make good decisions, feel free to give yourself some credit and live a little freer. And if you are 20 and know living on your own is not for you, take some innitiative and live the only way you know how within reason. I am 19, and I know how I want to live my life. It's the only way I know how. It is no where near how my parents raised me, but because I'm responsible, they trust me and are saying okay. This does not mean that if you are at that crucial point where everything you say and do is right and no one else is (usually from 14-16, sorry, not picking on you guys, I was there myself)that you can just decide to do whatever. I've seen alot of mistakes made that way. I'm just saying that, if you know yourself well enough (which every person should strive for always), and you aren't afraid, you should be able to live happy.Voted for by KimmyKat.
PS, I plan on living poor and never owning a house and I couldn't be more excited. -
to strive for perfection..is to invite frustration. Just try to be as good as you possibly can and leave being perfect to God. There are two kinds of people who claim to be perfect- hypocrites and the delusional- neither of whom I wish to emulate. I'll settle for just being good. good works. good takes effort, but does not become an all-consuming obscession.Voted for by NeferMaatNetjer.

In Today's Society:For me to have a life aiming for perfection in today's society I would have to be so politically correct I would no longer have the ability to think or speak for myself. I would also be an angry feminist that strives not for equality, but dominance while also becoming one of the 42% of women over 40 who wanted children but never had any because they were told a job was so much more fulfilling. I would also be so in love with American Idol that I would not know the first thing about the politics in my country, and I would firmly believe that Sadaam Hussein was responsible for 9/11.Voted for by Carpool.
No: MY real perfection is always being myself, never letting anyone’s judgments change me in any way, and never ceasing to search for truth.
