What is the best balance? —go along with what society expects for you and going your own way?

For me, I go along to earn a living (to the extent my moral compass is aligned) but I go my own way in my free time. And im trying very hard to forego the former as soon as I can.

Society's expectations are always secondary.

To thine own self be true. Anything and everything else is secondary.

Always do what you want and don't worry about what other people think 👍 (as long as you aren't hurting other people in a bad way)

I think rules provide a nice moral framework. But, I really just try to envision life and then just jump in and live it.

In certain parts of my life I have to go along because that's being an adult

The older I get the harder it is to put on a show.

One does need to understand and cooperate with the system to some extent to position yourself within it to your advantage..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman yes as much as I find that appalling at times I agree it is a truth

@BiasForAction You cant save everyone. Particularly those who dont want to be saved. Personally I am in the best country for me and my family to be in, and my lifestyle is as protected as it can be. While my kids are also set up and will be fine, even giving the grandkids a good start.. I did my bit...😷

I try to get along with others, but I definitely have a moral code.
