It's my opinion that people live the life they choose. No one is tricking you into it. Who's to say which way of life is right? Some people enjoy the pleasures

  1/2 true. I didn't choose... To have my ass kicked, repeatedly, both at home and at school. To be bounced around as a child, moving 28 times before graduating, having 3 foster families To have a grave life threatening illness. To become a young parent (thought I was sterile, but it only takes one, right)? Things I did choose... Somehow avoided drugs. Books and computers, mostly as escapism, lucky me geeks now do well economically. Became a stable parent, deferring my dreams until my son graduated. Always trying to improve my well being, eg exercise, nutrition, seeking new treatments for my diseases, etc. Conclusion... I've been on the streets and in support groups with others who had their choices taken away, didn't have access to the resources and opportunities I had, or simply didn't know they were born awesome and could choose life. And I recognize that many have had things far worse than me. We're all just trying to do the best we know how. So I try not to judge.
