I hate being free. My life is one big, depressing struggle. i'd rather be someone's servant, at least then I wouldn't have as much to worry about in life.
Interestingly, I have heard of a phenomonon where prison inmates begin to fear their release when it starts to get near. They worry about all the stress of finding a place to live, finding a job, paying bills, etc. Plus there's so many choices about how to live their life that it can be overwhelming for them. In prison, their day is perfectly structured. Someone organises when they wake, eat, excercise, sleep, where they live, what they eat, etc. So it can eliminate a lot of stress. Of course, this is likely only the case for inmates who aren't in particularly violent or dangerous prisons.
It's pretty common in people on the outside too to a lesser degree. Coming up with a way to live your life from scratch is a lot harder than finding a niche to fit in and becoming that. That's why kids in high school all join similar cliques, it's easier to join a group and dress like and agree with them than to figure out how to express yourself as an individual on your own
There are some people out there who love authority, like the people on the other end of the spectrum who just love cops and make excuses for anything that they do. They want the person there telling them what to do, that they're doing the right thing by being obedient.
There's really nothing that says you necessarily HAVE to have a physical place to live or a job or bills, or marry and have kids, or go into debt for school, or any of that. But it's easier to go along with what everyone else is doing than it is to live comfortably without any of those things. There's nothing stopping people from living outdoors off the land in groups of like minded people, but too much freedom creates less certainty. Most people will settle for exercising their "freedom" by making "A or B" choices on election day and then go right back to living how they were told.
Sad but true, although it is virtually impossible to just live off the land in America. It's illegal almost everywhere so you would be forced to evade rangers and law enforcement. There are enclaves where it's possible but they are few and far between. I thought about it while homeless but the barriers put up were too burdensome. You can't even hunt in the lower 48 to survive, without a permit which are cost prohibitive. So unless you want to break laws, which is a choice of course, you can't do it.
Yea its pretty ridiculous and if you have a rain collection system you better have it well hidden. Government would be pissed if they found out you werent paying for your life sustaining fluids
It's hard but it's possible. I just mean people enjoy certain restrictions on freedoms because they make life easier. Full blown critical thought takes a lot of time and effort and following the leader is way easier.
The whole big brother thing when they're going to kill all the dissedents is too obvious. I can scream on the street all day about how the moon landing was fake and all they can get me with is public intoxication. They don't care, somebody yelling about 9/11 was an inside job on the street is going to influence very few people.
Most people like the illusion of freedom through simple meaningless choices with a regimented structure in place to tell them what to do. was my answer to the question.
I'm not a gambler, but it I was I'd be willing to be that your parents were very controlling, and you weren't able to grow up emotionally.
I was adopted by someone who wanted me as their servant. If you have the desire to not have autonomy, you're probably going to have the desire for other things that you may not be able to get once you've given your sovereignty to someone else.
Normal for someone who is weak, pathetic and has no ambitions. Unless it’s a sex thing, then go ahead
