The Meaning of Life (Evolving Beyond the Unhappy Life)

This journal entry was originally published as "A glorious rant about the meaning of life, happiness (and travel)" in February 2013 and March 2012 on my old travel site, Eye & Pen. I've touched this up a bit – I hope you enjoy.

Life's purpose for humanity wasn't to be bound by the soul-crushing shackles of the corporate world and the 9 to 5 circus of continual dead-end jobs. The vast majority of the population simply chooses to embrace mediocrity, and I can’t seem to fathom why. From my viewpoint, people appear to be engulfed in fear, too frightened to make the alterations to their life that would lead to true contentment and adventure. Either that, or they're too comfortable or complacent or indifferent, or (even) disenchanted to venture off the often-traveled, asphalt-paved highway to the commercially-sponsored dream (AKA the “American Dream”) and to take the time to create their own path.
