Courage is needed

I've just come to realize something that I've wanted to voice out in a long long time, but never knew what to say or make of this feeling.

I finally know now why I am how the way I am.Simply said, I don't want to walk the line.The line everyone gets forced into from early birth,duped into thinking that this is the way things are, cheated into it by lines and lines of predecessors who did the exact same thing.The rat race we all run,in hopes of achieving higher social-economical status? Sure there will be some who strike a moment of eureka and wanted to rock the boat, but they eventually get pulled down by reality again. Friends and loved ones who cannot understand, pressures of carving out a living, self-doubt.Many factors come to play, and the race is on again. What is the reality of this existence? Who is it who set the rules the majority runs by? Ultimately, what do we really want from life. And dare we kindle a fire that shall set our lives ablaze.

Living of the grid, boycotting mass production, going back to the old days of wilderness seems like a novel idea.Can it really be done in an age where we are over independent on technology?I sometimes feel that the little people should join forces and combat the greed and control of the powers that be.But then again, everyone wants a comfy life.Life as it is is hard enough without bothering much about the major issues. As long as prices are down, and the living is good, nobody really cares.

Is it too much to ask? To just pack up and leave.To discover the world and through that who I shall be.
