Living Life


               "The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe." This quote was quoted from H.L. Mencken. H.L. Mencken was a American essayist and social critic. This quote simply means that he didn't "live life to the fullest". He said this quote back in the 19th century.

                 However , this society is very divided and everyone seems to be different and does their own thing. Most people are outgoing and enjoy taking life risks. They enjoy experiencing new things and getting out of their comfort zone. On the other hand, there are some people that enjoy being in their safe circle and doing the same things over and over every single day. People enjoy it because they have simpler days and feels less stress out when nothing changes. When you are in difficult or foreign situations you actually benefit from those types of situations. You grow as a person by learning life lessons.

                   Although you can learn life lessons by watching someone else making mistakes. It is not the same thing, but it has the same main idea. However, everyone makes mistakes, there is no such thing as a perfect person. If you know someone please let me know because I do not believe in a perfect person. I would side with H.L. Mencken. I think many people prefer to be safe and to follow rules and have a good life.
