"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
- Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism
I came across this quote on tumblr, and I was so drawn to it, almost connected because it is exceptionally true. Most people nowadays just live their lives according to how the world and society around them suggests we do, such as we must go to school as children, get an eduction, then go onto college and university, where we are rushed into thinking and deciding what we would like to go onto to do in life. Then you have to work, have a career, then you typically grow old with a family or so. Life is too planned out, too predictable. Wheres the spontaneity of it, the adventures, the passion, the excitement...
