  • That makes sense. Our subconscious is better at picking up the small details than our conscious mind, because it takes more effort for us to think about it. That’s why they say “go with your gut” because our brains calculate things subconsciously. It’s why we can do things without thinking about it.



  • I thank you for debating with me over all of this. It’s nice to see things from a different angle. I hope you gleaned some insight as well. I’m not trying to spark anger, just trying to get people to see things from a different perspective. But I think it’s time we dropped the subject, the only thing this conversation is doing at this point, is making us go round and round in circles and letting our emotions take hold of us. Have a good day sir/ma’am and I hope your life continues in the way you want it.

    If you want to tell the internet that you win this argument, then I will concede it to you.



  • I’m glad you feel that way. And I’m happy you make a decent living. You’re living the life I want to live. If I had the money to support my family that way, I would. But I don’t have that kind of money. And I STILL feel that I am not obligated to any of my parents money. My parents did more than give me money, my parents taught me how to wipe my but, pay a bill, and have a good work ethic. And I believe I will never make an income of 90k. Not for lack of effort, but because I like the job I have, despite it not (nor will it ever) pay well.

    But that’s just the way the world works. Some people get better jobs and save it for themselves, and some people save it for their family. I wish everyone could live the latter life, but that’s just not a sane way of thinking.

    I won’t ask my parents for money, just like I would never ask you for a hand out. I will earn my way in life, and if that means I’ll never make enough to live comfortably, then I guess that’s the hand I’ve been delt. But not matter what happens, I’ll always be proud to tell everyone: hey, I live on my own. Hey, I bought that car with my own money. No my parents didn’t give me any of it.

    Maybe I’m just too conceited to ask for money, but I want to live my life the way I want, and that’s by earning everything I have. On my own. With my own efforts. And if you think that’s a horrible way of living, then maybe I am wrong for thinking that way. Maybe I should tell my parents I deserve their money. But I won’t, and probably never will, and I believe wholeheartedly that my way of thinking is the right way.

    You know, it makes me wonder how that works. Because most of the time, they get the prescription right, even though, for the most part, we only guess which one feels right to us, even though, to us, one and two look practically the same.
