As long as I can remember, I HATED other people telling me what to do.

This seems such a simple thing - why doesn't everyone feel the same way? Or do they, and just don't show it??

I remember reading this little pamphlet I got in the mail back in 1993 (The Bronze Age??) - describing this guy in California (prob. a made up story) who worked for himself, and was FREE..

But instead of listening to my heart at that stage, I listened to 'other people', which is remarkably similar to what the state of death is like, I assume....

So I struggled and battled with the urge to be FREE at such an early stage, but never could live with myself when "in a job" and having to do what other people tell me to do..

I mean seriously - other people told me 1) when to wake up, 2) what clothes to wear, 3) where I would spend the majority of the day, 4) what I would do that day, 5) how I was allowed to act that day, 6) when I could eat lunch!! 7) how long I could eat lunch, 8) WHAT I COULD EAT FOR LUNCH!!!!) , 8) when I could go home for the day and play with my friends.

Oh, and i was rewarded for doing what I was told with "steady pay" and "job security".....

AND THIS IS HOW THE MAJORITY OF HUMANS ON THIS PLANET SPEND THEIR DAYS.

AND THIS IS WHAT THE MAJORITY OF HUMANS ON THIS PLANET CALL "NORMAL"

AND IF YOU LIVE DIFFERENTLY, THE MAJORITY OF HUMANS ON THIS PLANET LABEL YOU AS "BAD" OR "WRONG".

Phew...what a world...

Good thing I'm a-changin' it.... :)

Peace out,
