So you are reliving your life through them
No, I'm stopping them from doing my mistakes of not living life.
So rather than allowing them the opportunity to go through their early lives like the bulk of society
So i should encourage my kid to aspire to own materialistic goods, because its what society does?
To treat people like objects, because its what society does?
To be confined by the box, because that's what society does?
To destroy family life, because that's what society does?
To work 9-5 in some mundane and pointless job, because that's what society does?
Hell no, I'm not going to stand back and let society push me to churn out another cog.
You may word it, twist it and contort it in what ever manor you want to make me look what ever way you want, i don't care.
I do not and will not let my children dissolve into the background of the 9-5 life, i will teach them that life is more then what society pushes upon you.
Those are two very hefty assumptions - both wrong. I want them to experience life but I am fully aware what it takes to personally do that. I also want them to understand they don't live in cloud cuckoo land.
I guess because i think differently to you i live in cloud cuckoo land. I don't care, because to me and others who think like me (Shock there are others), you are the one who lives in cloud cuckoo land.
Life is more then your contribution to society, if you don't understand this, then I'm sorry for you.
You have 1 life, 1 time on this planet to live it as you can, to be then told how to live it and conform to regulations, is to miss the point of life.
