I see society's norms and expectations but see them as just that... expectations and norms.. I don't feel bound by them. I don't feel I would be any less of a person or less valued if I don't conform to these rules.. And to be honest I haven't ever been judged in that way... I found a quote that made me think of this... "Existential living allows the client to live ‘outside the box’ of societal norms, and gives the client freedom to adapt and react to each situation."I find the whole concept of society's rules pretty vague and it doesn't seem to rule me.. What's your experience, do you feel hemmed in or restricted by these so called Society rules? less

I haven't completed my homework, not even close :( I was supposed to do it Saturday, but had a huge list of chores, so I set myself today to finish writing it, (later session needed to edit it). But I allowed myself to get distracted... I didn't get down to it, then son asked me to go with him to a timber supplier, that was shut, so we went to an aquatic store in the same retail park. He took foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever... choosing fish... then after returning home he wanted to go to a DIY store to look for wood, again he took ageeeeeeeeees to choose a piece of wood, taking out each one to examine it.. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr But who's to blame? Me, really cos I went, with him.. I shouldn't have.. especially as he always takes forever.. but then again he's my son, and it won't be long before he flies the nest and although it's a little thing, it's nice he likes me to go with him now and then.. But now my homework seems insurmountable because I am really, really tired... less
