4. I suspect that Living is all in the mind of the beholder, and not those who proclaim that others

should live the way they perceive it. If you are living, and you are, for the most part, happy, aren't you 'living'? Not in fear, but in good ol' fashioned living. So what if you don't go out? It is expensive to go out but that is not really the 100% reason why some don't go out, it's that they are, for the most part, happy being at home, living there, already doing things that they enjoy. Some people have a very full life being at home, and aren't beating the doors down to be elsewhere. Live YOUR life, not others. I liked your write-up.
