Being free is just about the most important thing in my life as well, and I suspect many of us feels that way, but one have to be careful not to get trapped in ones own net of rule-breaking rules.RRM wrote:For me, life is too short for mandatory social behaviour; i want to be free to do whatever i want, whenever i want. Thats why i dont do birthdays either; havent celebrated my b-day since i was 14, i think. And i dont go to other people's b-day either. Not even my mum's b-day!!!
Hehe, I have had 'crazy' ways of eating for many years. Before I used to eat a low glycemic diet with tons of supplements. My typical chrismast dinner back then would be a glass of wheatgrass and spirulina juice, some duck or chicken (or both) lots and lots of steamed broccoli and carrots and vitamin pills and cod liver oil and pro-biotics. Then, 30 mins. later I would be hungry again and have slices of rye bread with sunflower seed spread and bananas, lots of water and perhaps some hemp-protein powderIris wrote:But with regards to diet, you're not having any difficulty eating your own things I understandNot that I expected any different from you die-hards
It's very nice to read something about your path towards your ideal diet. So thank you for that. I mean, not that it's nice you have had difficulties with diet too, but it is nice to read others have (had) strange eating habits as well and it kind of strengthens my own idea that I'm not a completely hopeless casefictor wrote:Hehe, I have had 'crazy' ways of eating for many years.

I have brought my own food (lots of it) to resturants, tips, parties and work for years. It takes time, but I am fully used to it now, as is most of my family, friends and colleagues. You'll get there
Sorry for double posting!
Maybe. But i feel free.fictor wrote:when RRM says he never goes to birthday parties, he is not really free, in my point of view, since he has made a rule that he does not attend to birthdays.
Absolutely.If one goes to the birthdays one want to go to, and not the ones one does not want to go to, then one is really free!
Well, im simply never aware of it, because i never think of bdays anymore, except that sometimes i think "oh its my mother's bday this month', and then i forget about it again.I simply do not believe that when some of your best friends and family get together to celebrate a birthday, that you would rather sit alone at home,
If i would be thinking about it, maybe. I dont know. But im not thinking about it. Im not being stubborn all by myself; im just doing what i do on any other day. When it someone's b-day, its simply just another day for me. I wouldnt know the difference.and if that is true, you are not free unless you go to that birthday party![]()
Sure, the freedom of choice is freedom, but is having to chose more also more freedom?fictor wrote:In my idea choice=freedom.
Abosultely! As I wrote earlierRRM wrote: Cant you become a kind of prisoner of the choices you have to make?
I too have to constantly question my own idea about freedom, to not get trapped in a set of rules.fictor wrote: Still, I think
anyone should be careful not to become prisoners in their own idea
about freedom, resulting in loss of choices. In my idea choice=freedom.
