I am not going to fear whether my life seems "inadequate" to anyone, as long as I am happy with the way I am living my life. I am, so I would like to keep living it a bit longer.
I felt "inadequate" for many years, due to how others viewed me and felt dead. I don't need that judgment. Now that I'm on my own, I am quite adequate, in fact sometimes feel overflowing with joy. I'm not afraid of death, but I do hope that I go out on a positive note.
What is inadequate or adequate living? Very confusing to me because it reminds me of beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Some say that bees will kill a worker who does not support the community and this remark is to show us that we must "give something back to the community" to be a productive member of society. Well, society be damned. Live your life as you see fit as long as you do no harm to others.
Too many equate adequate living to acquiring abundant material wealth…..
More philosophy from those who never had to work......nice for them......
How do you determine what is an inadequate life? How do people who find themselves in bad circumstances achieve an adequate life?
