The whole world has something to do, somewhere to go, someone to meet at all times. It is like some kind of race I guess. Everyone is trying to get somewhere. Where? I am not sure. I on the other hand, find myself free most times of the day. I am not sure if this is a good thing or bad. If it is bad, how bad is it? I don't know if I should work towards keeping myself busy like the world. But I am not sure towards what end, I am required to do that.
Most people would say it would all end when I get a job. Others who have a job would say it would end after something else. Yet some really smart and knowledgeable thinkers(apparently they are smart by some standard) would say happiness and freedom. I get confused again. It has been my hobby for a few years now, to observe groups of people of all ages; various backgrounds and with different degrees of professional achievement. I have been unable to understand what this happiness and freedom refers to. After all, at what stage do people attain that? Job, first car, house, marriage, kids, promotions, kids' success at school, kids' higher education, kids' jobs, kids' marriage, grand children? When?
Apparently, the world knows this; as to how and when that secret race key opens the door to happiness and freedom and I am left here thinking as if I have had a few missing years during my late teens or early twenties where the people of the world seem to have learned(Brit. usg. learnt) about such things.
