Normal Life
The feelings of angst that occurs with the realization that the normal life is non-appealing must be widespread. I cannot fathom becoming complacent with a status quo lifestyle. The life of a worker bee is something that has disastrous implications for those who desire freedom. Freedom from the restrictions that define so much of the supposed civilized life. There must be more to life than the 9 to 5 grind and the accumulation of meaningless materials. Sadly, most stop the search and seek refuge in simplicity. A simplicity that fosters a lack of fulfillment and continued life crises for those seeking more. So, ultimately I recognize that submission to a life of routine and strucutured obligation devoid of meaning is a price to high to pay. I would rather continue to search for individual freedom in the midst of the herd.

So if someone wants a 9 to 5 and finds it fulfilling then they don't like freedom? The accumulation of material things can have meaning, for example using material wealth to give back to disadvantaged communities and poorer family members. Life has meaning and often times that meaning comes from us, individuals, and family. Angst is normal and it is not only a teenage thing. Keep fighting but make sure you know for what, why, and for how long. Peace.
