I believe that there is something special about not needing to spend large amounts of money on fleeting entertainment.
It's something that none of my peers have managed; they all still spend their income on drinking, cigarettes, tattoos, holidays and so forth. I don't particularly look down on them for it as they're obviously happy in their world doing it. I just think there's more enjoyment to be had outside of a 9-to-5 job and alcohol.
- ownagefool 13y agoJust because everyone else jumps off a bridge, doesn't make you special for not following. Unless the bridge is on fire, then you probably are a bit special. ;) Truth be told a lot of your peers feel the same way. They're confused as to why they need to go out and drink themselves stupid every night/weekend but it's what people do and they wanna be close to other people.

- edanm 13y agoCounterxample: "I don't particularly look down on regular humans." "I believe that there is something special about Superman, who can travel faster than a speeding bullet and is a man of steel." It seems clear to me that you can find someone who's different from a group special, without looking down on the group.
- nwh 13y agoI was attempting to say that it isn't something I would like to do myself, or something that I even understand, however I can respect that it is their decision to do so. I'm not gay and I can't imagine myself being gay, but I can stand on the sideline and say that it is perfectly acceptable that other people are.
