I think @dswigle will know what I am talking about here.
So many of us spend our young lives casting around and ending up in jobs that we chose that are wrong for us.
A good chef makes a choice to become an avarage salesman and he hates his job, but he doesn't know that he is a good chef. Then one day, years later, he makes the discovery that he is a good chef.
So it is with many of us.
Once he made the discovery, a little passion light was kindled in him and as he made progress, the passion started to grow so much that he became famous!
Note that I have not mentioned emotions here.
It is this "disposable life" that you speak of coupled to errant quich fix emotions that stand in the way of true and lasting passion. Emotions are not coupled to logical reasoning, as it is all on the spur of the moment stuff.
And so many lives are bitter.
My own little flame of passion was only lit at the age of 40. Before that I also bobbed about on the sea of life.
I discovered that I care. Once the discovery was made, I decided to test it out and I enlisted as a volunteer at two NGO's. Now being a down the line kind of guy, the first NGO did some things that I did not approve of and the second was even worse. But unbeknown by me, it was my taining to start The Papillon Foundation so long ago.
Pssion was aflame as it still is today and I only wish I had known about it earlier in my life!
He is lucky he made the discovery eventually, most don't, or when they do, assume it is too late to act on, too much risk, too much of a salary cut.
I think it is the "try many things" that leads to it and perhaps, a young you/us can't comprehend what passion really is when it is present.
That is exactly the problem. We become established in our lifestyles, doing what we hate to do for the sake of money. So well do I remember the bitterness of my ex father in law that stayed at the same company all of his sad life. No friends and a solitary foul mouthed old soul that eventually died in his bitterness.
I like to see people happy and smiling, regardless of their conditions, or situations and if I can do something about creating a bit of that happiness then I make myself happy. Simple and sweet!
I have the feeling a lot of the younger generation will live this life unless they start waking up to the disconnection they are participating in.
Yeah right and it will get worse over time by the looks of things.
I see here that as the old folks die off, the tennis courts and club houses are starting to empty. Once lively places are standing silent and forlorn!
Hi, Zak! @papillioncharity
I have to admit that part of who you are now is where you came from and the events that shaped it. I actually do not think you would have been as effective or ready for the amazing things you do now.

Greetings Lady Denise, I thought to tag you because you know how difficult it is for charities to survive over here.
Now during the covid restrictions many more charities are shutting their doors, but we are used to sacrifices and determined to keep on going.
The thing that hurts is that we had to cut back drastically and the people out there are suffering, but hopefully things will improve.
Life has a way of training each of us for our actual purposes and so sad that many never find their true purposes.
But like I always say, we do what we can with what we have.
Yhank you for your kind generosity Lady @dswigle
