You can only follow your dreams insomuchas they simulanteously allow you to take care of yourself properly. The hippies are probably the best example of self harm through irresponsibility. You have to be very careful not to interperate the message in such a way that you become a real life example of the grasshopper and the ant fairytale. People usually don't like the humdrum lives that the comic mocks, but they choose it because it offers security both now and in the future for their families. If you take risks to avoid that then you must be prepared to accept the concequences if everything comes crashing down, or if something happens that makes you wish you had that metaphorical grain stash. 'Irresponsible' is a label on par with 'drug-addict'. Don't expect those of us who sacrifice our freedom for security to help you when life kicks you in the ass.

I used the word deceptive because it's a very dangerous mentality if taken without a healthy dose of reality.

That is the crux. Finding the balance between following ones dreams and taking care of oneself. I suppose my interpretation of the thing was different and perhaps everyone who reads it gleans something according to their own life experiences? |
