this phraise "having a life" is itself a wee bit ambiguous and obscure. i suppose this is intended to mean having expectations and among them expectations of others having expectations of one's self. expectations are illogical. the more so when other sentient life forms are involved. preferences are not unreasonable however. there is of course something that makes a difference to concern ourselves with. the kind of world we have to live in, and how the mechanism statisticly works that makes things be how they are. and chainges them. and in what directions. having, and not having "a life" are equally, nearly meaningless concepts, to me. the more my life is not one of gratuitously conventional expectations the happier i feel able to be. and the most, pretty much only, way, i've found, to reduce the dominance of conventional expectations is to minimize contact with the mutual coerciveness of human society. =^^= .../\...
Sometimes I wish my life consisted of more than work and then sitting at home doing nothing. But, at the same time, I'm really glad I don't have much stress.
