Are wandering the Appalachian trail or working the grill in a Waffle House in some nothing town bad? If so why?
What qualifies a town as "nothing"?
How can you hide from your self? that doesnt make sense.
Considering this is HN are you currently working as some sort of programmer or business guy? if so why is that better than Waffle house?
- lostlogin 5y agoI don’t think OP is making a claim about better or worse. It appears to be about getting away and doing something where the commitment is minimal and attachment is zero.
- everyone 5y agoI've carefully arranged my life to be like that. Zero responsibilities, zero stress. It's great! Imo it's optimal and I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to live like that, other than bullshit peer-pressure or conspicuous consumption related reasons like having high status.
- spydum 5y agoi've similarly architected my life and lifestyle to minimize stress and avoid drama. however, zero responsibility and zero vulnerability (emotionally) is a dangerous place to find yourself, I wouldn't advise seeking that out. Easily allows someone to slip into depressive state and make bad judgements.
- hallway_monitor 5y agoSure, this is called being a kid. Zero responsibilities, also zero impact on the world. Having a family isn't about gaining status, obviously. What I hear is that this man's wife and children are the only thing keeping him afloat.
