Life Views

I suppose the real conflict of interest between my family and I is our views on life. It seems to me as though my dad believes life is all about affording what you want. So to do that he insists that I get a job, save money, and buy things I do not need (and barely want for that matter.) I don't think that is how life works ladies and gentlemen. Life is more like having a safety net of people, people willing to help you out in a tough time, put in a good word at job interviews, and hell, just be friends. A web woven of friends is perhaps far better than a blanket carved of cold hard cash. In the end, isn't life about the pursuit of joy anyway?
