Great thread, honeychile!
Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect.
"... And what is the state but a service and convenience to a large number of people, just like the electric and plumbing system? And wouldn't it preposterous to claim that men must exist for their plumbing, and not the plumbing for the men? And if your plumbing got so badly out of order, wouldn't it be preposterous to sit still and not make an effort to mend them?" We the Living (one of my favorite books)
