An easy thing to say when you're young and have familial wealth to fall back on or some other means of support while try to find some calling or whatever. I never found something I like doing that people will pay me money for, so I ended up doing the pragmatic thing and finding the job I have to put the least amount of effort into for a reasonable amount of money. I'm kinda sick of entitled people talk about finding your passion and similar advice like this.
You don’t need a lot of money to claim freedom over your life. Bukowski didn’t have a lot. Diogenes the Cynic would be one extreme but valid example. People who you’re calling entitled are not all entitled. They’re just a bit more courageous and freewheeling than you and me.
For me this ended meaning lots of student loans and feeling like I'm way behind in life. But glad nonetheless that I found something where it doesn't feel like hard work just to go to work.
A segment:
if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.
