Today’s society has changed over the years. While the majority of the people go to work for a living, this wasnt the case many years ago. Think back way far to caveman era, the male would build his own house, hunt for food, and help build anything else for the community( roads, boats, bridges, etc). The female would stay home and take care of the children, cook food, and clean. They lived happily this way. No bills, no taxes, no job! A source of income wasnt based of money, rather they worked together to live and provide. Today’s days are much different than caveman era. We now have to pay for shelter, pay for our food, and even pay the government! Of course we all have adapted and learned how to live in this society, if you like it or not. In today’s day, you can’t pick a piece of land and declare it yours as you build your new home on that land. You can’t start tearing down trees to build the fountain of your new home. The government and money are involved. If you dont have money, sorry but no land for you. In today’s day, you must have a source of income to provide for your family. I can’t live this way. Paying to live is ridiculous. I don’t want much, I don’t ask for much, but I know living this way isnt living life at all. I wish to never have to pay for shelter, never pay for food, never have my hard earned money split with the government because they can. Open your eyes people, there is so much more in life that we can’t experience because lack of income and time. The majority of us people can’t hop in our cars and head anywhere for several days due to work and money and whatever else because we all have different issues. Our society has created these problems on us that shouldn’t exist to human beings. At the end of the day, it is in our DNA to behave as male or female. In today’s day, most males don’t know how to build a house or hunt for prey anymore. In Today’s day, most females lack their ability to cook, clean, and provide a sweet home. I want to be part of any era in the past. No technology involved, humans actually interacting with one another, and sticking to the basics! Males provide shelter and food for his family while the females do whatever they can to keep the home in order. Times were different but they had what we don’t, freedom. We live in this beautiful nation we call our land of freedom. Although it is really free? I want to never pay bills, never have to pay my taxes, nor pay to live! I want what I can’t have. No one can have this. Time goes forward, never backwards. We can only look to the future and how we can make manage ourselves in this world.

Wow, I never really thought of it this way. What an interesting perspective and very eye-opening. Your last few lines are the unfortunate reality of our day. We cannot go back to the times when money was not a major concern. In our current day, jobs, money and other demands to survive often rob us of really living. A quote from the movie WALL-E used to make me laugh when I was a kid before I understood exactly what it meant. It’s when the conductor says “I don’t want to survive! I want to live!” Little did I know there was such a difference between surviving and living. Now it’s become apparent that many people are surviving, which means they are doing whatever they have to do to sustain themselves in their daily life, often without regards to what they really want. Living is taking it all in and loving and enjoying life. A lot of people really, truly don’t know how to do that, through no fault of their own. It’s just the way it is sometimes. It’s very sad. Great job going deeper into this!
