My girls learned a lot down there about the "collective" and how those involved look at the rest of us who don't subscribe. Don't subscribe to what? A minimalist lifestyle? Each individual should be able to choose the life they want to live. Nothing wrong with that. Does she have health insurance? It is a choice. Why is health insurance a requirement? If not, who pays when she needs medical care or prescriptions? She should pay when she needs medical care or prescriptions. |

Each individual should be able to choose the life they want to live. And I feel the same way. The problem comes when you expect someone who does not, to live it. Like expecting your guest to "make some food" when you have nothing in your cabinet at all written in english, or expecting a nearly 50yo office worker to keep up a 6 mile speed walk with 60 pounds of suitcases, walk 30 yards ahead, and complain that someone that age "should be ableto keep up"... and not offer to carry one of the bags.. Tell the mouse that living in a basement apt, with no TV, recognizable food, no microwave, no windows.. only NPR on the radio that "you are too old to be homesick". It was not the minimalist lifestyle that was the problem, it was the refusal to accept that others, especially guests, might not be as comfortale with it. It was the idea that her lifestyle was superior, and my girls should just like it, and live it, right then, to the point of being condecending when they did not understand.. Elite liberalism, at it's best.. I love my kid, hope she comes around soon, but for now her total intolerance physically hurt my wife, and totally turned the mouse off to higher education... Nothing wrong with that. Does she have health insurance? It is a choice. Why is health insurance a requirement? If not, who pays when she needs medical care or prescriptions? She should pay when she needs medical care or prescriptions. |
