I asked my teenage son his observations on why many people his age resist so when faced with making a decision.
He said it's because they feel their future is uncertain. And because so many of them have so much handed to them, not only by their parents but by programs in society, their schools, etc. He said that pretty much anything one needs will be given to them. By someone... So they really don't feel the need to have to make any decisions...
This is a frightening thought...
I applaud your way of life. Taking responsibility for ones own actions is brave and shows strong character.
[Gulp...] Yep, that's some scary sh*t right there...That expectation ethos that the young people have...They'll find out too late that they were wrong, in my humble opinion.
