IMO, we don't live long enough to bother with anything society tells us we should do.

[Mister Obvious]

Everything they tell us to aim for is a waste of time and energy and just keeps us from fulfilling the point and purpose of life.

The purpose is simple...

We're meant to simply be.

That's not to say we can't run around and do crazy things like climb tall shit or dance a lot...

Hunt things, build crap, fight with each other...

But following a certain set of overlord dictated rules is the absolute last thing anyone should be doing.

If you die at ~35 and you spent all your formative years as well as your 20s in school to be a whatever, emerging with nothing but debt...

[Mister Obvious]

It's just a hypothetical, I'm not saying it's common for people to die at 35, but let's be real about it, they do. Some even younger.

[Mister Obvious]

I haven't done anything they've told me to, and I feel like I've absolutely fulfilled the purpose of my life.

Could there be more? Sure, I guess. Doesn't really matter because I know I've done what I'm supposed to do anyway.

[Mister Obvious]

I've said everything I thought, I've expressed myself adequately, I've done everything that I dreamed of (besides the super outlandish stupid shit that probably wouldn't end up being great like I thought it would anyway)...

I consider myself done.

But if I had listened to and tried to fulfill society's expectations, I'd have spent almost none of my time entertaining my own desires and needs...

I would be nowhere near close to being fulfilled in my personal aims at this stage of my life, and would likely have no impetus to do so with the rest of my life because I would be brainwashed and beaten down by society's indoctrination.

when you follow  'laws' and 'beliefs' all you are really doing is submitting to tyrants and bullies

live by  natural laws  and deliver whatever punishment you want
