adulthood
I'm back.
All stories about my whereabouts are true.
My travels have left me with a set of questions which can be generally organized under the heading what do adults need?
Specific questions that fall under that heading: what pieces are required for happiness, and what are ethical methods of achieving those pieces in a sustainable way? What are the new difficulties that one faces in adulthood, and are there (ethical, sustainable) means of surmounting those difficulties? Are "alternative lifetyles" more likely to yield happiness than "traditional" lifestyles? If so, what are the difficulties involved with pursuing an alternative lifestyle, and what activities could counteract those difficulties? Do adults need play, and does play provide more for an adult than simple regression? What is the role of ritual in an adult life? Of learning? Who are the people who are thinking about these ideas? What are the helpful texts?
