I've already had the bill come due once in life after college and I survived it bruised but better. <br /><br />I constantly wonder if I'm somehow "wasting my life" or "living irresponsibly" because I don't live in America... doing some corporate-ladder job... paying a mortgage... waiting until early retirement to do what I'm doing now. <br /><br />The conclusion I always come to is: Why wait? What guarantees can life give me that things will work out in such a way that the life I have now would be available in the future? <br /><br />Of course, as you said: What guarantees do I have life will remain hunky-dory in the future and I'll be here forever, happy and content? None, naturally. But the only conclusion we can make from that is that life has no guarantees... just the certainty that eventually it is going to rock; eventually it is going to suck.<br /><br />But, I do have two important things that I consider my best insurance against the full blast of karma: First, I have a great family back home that I rely on. If my and Epril's life should come crashing down around us, we always have the safe harbor of family to hide in to avoid the worst of the storm.<br /><br />Second, I'm fairly smart. Not wise, I'll admit, but I'm a quick learner, adjustable, and can bring a heck of a lot more effort and effect than the average person to bear on a problem should it ever arise. <br /><br />So, in the end, my opinion is the old <i>carpe diem</i> and a heavy reliance on luck... or divine providence... to see me through to the finish line.Jil Wrinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289612869693691661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943735266880000142.post-5882697618202391732010-10-09T16:09:25.297-04:002010-10-09T16:09:25.297-04:00Hello Jil

With respect, my absolute "Well done Buddy" admiration I have for you stays in place, also however, I think sometimes you wear your heart on your shirt.<br />Please do not forget, every person in our/this world has <br />a day when reality checks n Karma comes to visit. I also believe this is totally outside your sphere of influence. I think you are doing the best you can do under somewhat difficult circumstances. I applaud what you are doing n the lifestyle incumbent with your decisions to live the way you have chosen. In my humble opinion, you have chosen the tough love way, n I respect n suppport you the sacrifices that are inherent within your decisions. You seem to be living a more adventurous n hopfully more fulfilling n happy life style than most "western men" could only ever claim n dream to be living. However, there-in remains the level of the risk profile you have chosen to adopt. <br /><br />My best wishes n best Karma to you n Epril.<br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943735266880000142.post-39396956919537519782010-10-09T01:39:21.729-04:002010-10-09T01:39:21.729-04:00Just make sure they don't forget to pay you.Just make sure they don't forget to pay you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
