Thread: Why do people not like the real world?

Living is what makes people actually live.
It what separates the men from the boys, the women from the girls; those who flee at danger or hardships deserve neither the ability to live nor the ability to prosper.

Uhh, what do you mean exactly?

He means run away from all your problems and the dangers of the city and go into the forest and live in a cave like a bear!

lol prescisely
just don't be afraid to take on challenges,
and if you live a life where you don't really find any challenges, go look for em.

Where there is life there is death right? People have a fear of death, they want to live long. Guy who has a job and is in college already has the stress on him, why go out and confront danger in this situation unless he likes it as a hobby? Also think about people with families: A man goes and fights with a bear? This is on the border of ludacris considering how many people die for irritating bears to begin with, he stands no chance against a bear...Unless he's on strong steriods...or redbull...

Some people aren't built for the constent or even rear challenges or danger, they hold a high value of life and would rather play it safe. Playing it safe is a better insurance of staying alive longer than facing immediate danger. But hell, people face danger everyday: When they smoke cigarrettes they put themselves in a do or die situation; hell they choose to die smoothly. People who fly in planes put their life in danger, I became a man when I first took a plane(not really). Though I do think people shouldn't run from the practical affairs of living, living on the edge isn't for everybody.

but if they aren't willing to 'live in the real world', I don't think they should really deserve to live their.

btw i would own the bear

What is your definition of the "real world", then?

I don't think that going out and taking on a bear or seeking conflict at every turn is the "real world". That would be too easy. There can be just as many challenges in trying to live your life as best as you can without constantly putting yourself in danger on purpose.

Taking challenges that don't have a certain outcome; taking risks, going out on a limb everynow and then. Doing something that feels like its 'real'; don't stay shielded behind your money, don't stay close to the trunk all the time.

yes...but PUT yourself in danger is my point, or at least to a point.

Well, I guess I'm doing fine, then...

I've taken challenges and risks, I've gone out on a limb. Maybe we just have different ideas of what that entails? I think going out and putting my life in danger is just a stupid idea. I have people who depend on me to be around for a while, and I plan to be around for them.

People face challenges every day. Maybe it might seem mundane to you, but to them, those challenges are very important and enriching. Different strokes for different folks, and all that.
