Do you want to know what I think is crazy?

"Waking up at 6am, eating breakfast, getting in a car and sitting in traffic for an hour on your way to work, sitting in a box for eight hours, eating dinner in front of the tv and then going to sleep. Then repeating the process for the next 60 years of your life until you retire and then die. That's completly and utterly insane."

Agree or disagree?

I think it is crazy to expect anyone's life to sound fulfilled when you express it like that. Is it crazy to spend your life making noises with bits of wood with strings attached to them all your life so people you don't know will enjoy the sound? That's what Jimmy Hendrix did with his life if you want to be that obtuse.

What of this man who works in a box 8 hours a day? You've said nothing of the joy he might get seeing his wife and children, or the interests and hobbies he is consumed by.

You can't explain life as you have without divorcing from it a great deal of its richness.

But there's DVD box sets and Ikea - so much to work your life away for!

I love my box. Wish it was darker though. And had a nicer keyboard.

its insane, but i think your pushing it 60 years. the 20's are pretty decent, still not as good as teens but alright but from about 30 to 60 this is what most people do. everything becomes so structured and dull. makes me wanna avoid the 9-5 life and do somethin different even if it means being poor id have more fun

Agreed

Would be worse to be stuck at home all day. You'd end up crazy.
