amber, i understood what you were saying about 'being free' perfectly. 🙂 and i have been giving a lot of thought in the last year about doing something very similar to what gordon is doing. as to responsibility i know you were not meaning to relinquish all responsibility......even gordon still accepts responsibility, he takes great care of nice and hugo and visits his mum, as well as (i am fairly certain i am guessing correctly here) is polite to strangers, does not run through the streets in his birthday suit, and does not chew with his mouth open.
and not going to the work in the career you selected voluntarily as your life's work would not be freedom to me........being able to select your career is what i see as freedom.
i don't know gordon's age, but he has almost certainly 'put in his time' and is now living his time of retirement....or 'freedom'.
as far as i can see, peer pressure leads to alot of rude language and general misbehaving. 🙂 peer pressure can be bad as well as good.
anyway, what i meant to say is that i understand what you were saying and i, also, see the freedom in gordon's way of living right now. 🙂
