Silverfish - The Outlaw to become - Silverblogger Prompt #22

There it is again, this question "what do you want to be when you grow up?", which seems to be something so important for the big folks around children. What the heck did i care, i was not yet ten years old at the time they asked me first. Though it seems the whole life must have something to do with it. Some are dead serious when asking that question. Others just ask for the sake of "talking" to a "child".

I was like:

• i want to be an indigenous american living in a tipi, being in nature all the time!

another one was:

• i want to be a guardian of the woods. (No not a forester, they do not respect the trees like the guardian of the woods. They just "handle" them for the "owners" and some business.)

or:

• i want to be some kind of a handyman, who's helping the ones in need

and especially (since it seemed to be the one, most could at least relate to):

• i want to be a musician and a painter

My serious answers to the question asked. Most didn't really heard me and where just laughing. Many said: "Ah, you silly, this isn't possible. You want be able to make money with that. You're going to need a job that will pay your rent, food and whatever you want." Like it would be the only important thing in their life, money.

I get the part where most show off the fact that they have given up their own responsibility, to the nature of life, to someone they don't even know. Someone who's actually abusing them in many ways and since this violence is hurting them too much and they can't do anything against it (?), because they have no choice (?), they went blind and deaf to all the beauty of life.

It's just, who does really listen to a "child"? Isn't "child" just a word for a young human (in chronological order)? So, since a child is human, it brings all qualities with it to this world. The good way would just be to treat it like a human and guide it to the best of its personal qualities trough life. How the potential of our whole world could profit from that is misunderstood IMHO. And for sure not good for a capitalistic business.

But back to the question of this prompt "what do you want to be when you grow up?". After my little experience i had at my age then, already there was this feeling of "I want to be more intelligent than the people I have met so far."

So surely that gave me the fair share of the civilised society through my "whole" life growing up. I had to become a cook, since that was what my mother and a social worker decided would be the best for me. This was the reason i changed jobs every two years after the apprenticeship, to escape this enormous decadence in the "hell's kitchen" business.

To my mid twenties i was working as a unqualified joiner, then unqualified carpenter, even had two years as a "professional" disc-jockey, until i ended up in a kitchen - again. Though this was different since i was the Chef, the only cook and it was in a British Pub. Had to show these English folks what good food is. :smirk: Worked my way up to the management and finished even as a hotel manager in my forties.

My soul wasn't really satisfied. There was still that "urge" to live as an indigenous in a tipi, somewhere in the wild. For all these years i was never really stopping to look out for that possibility. Made quite a few trainings, always on the look out for the needed change i felt in myself, since i was born.

First it was inline with what our capitalism is offering forcing us to do - Business diploma,
Computer courses to the point of becoming a Webmaster and so on. On the other side was the training i wanted/needed. The best things i have ever done were: Polarity-Therapy, also the shamanistic way of counselling and a few other workshops that helped a lot to start freeing my soul.

In time Living off-grid even became a "thing" and this started the beginning of the end of my societies obligations. All to the point, i left "everything" behind. Took my rucksack and walked away, becoming that Handyman i always wanted to be. Living in exchange for whatever my needs are. That's now 12 years i'm living as an "outlaw", since "civilised" society can't cop with humans like me.

The Best You Can Become Is Yourself !

Tipping is a way to show that you appreciate the work ! Thank you !

The “true” way of a community is to support each other, since it doesn't make sense to wait for the mercy of a millionaire to send us $$$ - we support each other with the best we can.
It works even after a contribution has gone through the seven days of voting, and thus the opportunity for gracious "giving" is over. Another plus - that way no one can ‘steal’ your given support, not even the often ego-selfish pointless Down-Voters. I thank you for all the support you give, anywhere !
