That's the attitude I don't understand. Can you flush that out a little more?
It's like you only see point A and point Z. There are so many experiences to be had with a family that fills the middle.
I would argue that moving around constantly to travel keeps you from developing real, long-term relationships, and that those relationships are vital to being a successful, fully-realized human. Further, I would argue that while you may see some neat things, it is a death sentence to die alone.
See how ridiculous that sounds? Same thing with a family and house framed as a death sentence. It's not a lack of experiences to settle down, it's a different set of experiences. Why the values judgments?

- intrasight 8y agoYou can enjoy the freedom to move around and still make lasting, deep relationships. In fact it's possible that you will have more relationships with a more diverse set of people. I've heard settling down in a house described as "building one's coffin". Many people die alone in the coffin they build.
