Be awesome. Spend time with my awesome wife and daughter. Eventually bounce awesome grandkids on my knee. 
I think the idea of contributing to society-paying society back-is a false idea. Itās just something that people say that has no meaning. I can imagine myself doing something like that. In fact, I am going to be working as a volunteer soon helping the mentally ill. It just doesnāt mean anything. It is an empty concept. How could you āpayā āsocietyā back?
The hardest Iāve ever worked in my life I was paid nothing in return, nothing, and loved every minute of that. Other than that and who I was up to the point of 19, I feel I may have accomplished more than could in my wildest dreams (memories?) But that aisde, I want to live, survive, find love again eventually. I want to be able to live me life, volunteer somewhere, go for walks for excercize, meet people who dare stop by my place with no need to worry. Be a member in a positive (I have my moments) way of the community I grew up in.
In the grand scope, I want to live to see the day truth prevails and the lies fall away, Iāve lived to see beauty but that day would be beautiful, if being miserable in some way until that day be my plight then so be it.
I wonder if sz being unique among animals only in humans⦠If it is societally instigated. I feel positive individually in volunteering
I think of it as building a better community for everyone to live in. I canāt change the world, but I can make a difference at the local level. E.g., Iām currently involved in a project that is financing computers for use at school for kids from less privileged families. The more skills and knowledge these kids get, the more advantages they have as adults. Maybe if enough people did this the world as a whole would suck less.
I thought it was like saying thank-you for all the help I have received by doing some good in return, itās not a normal debt more of a debt to society
Cats are szaā¦their half in half outā¦and can switch moods like a bi polar personā¦i watched a cat defend itself from the dark closet it was intenseā¦i told it thank you after for keeping whatever it was awayā¦lol
Yeah, thatās what I couldnāt find the words to say, thanks @shutterbug!
I donāt have a lot to contribute per se, except experience in protecting myself from the harm of others. Iād like kids to have some of the knowledge that I know from personal experience, actually works, when faced with an unexpected situation that could turn deadly, and thereās no one else around to protect them.
Even if they never find themselves in that kind of situation, they can be less afraid of life if they know they can protect themselves.
I was stalked and approached at the concord mall back in 1977, when I was 13 years old. It was the creepiest feeling and I knew it was a life changing decision for me, and glad I didnāt take the bait.
The guy turned out to be one of the two cousin duo team known as the āThe Hillside stranglerā
They abducted 10 women/girls and raped, tortured and killed, then their bodies dumped along different hillsides, between Oct1977 and Jan 1978.
