What you're supposed to do.

Yesterday I was talking with some friends while having a drink, lately we've been talking about serious subjects, which we would never do on the old days, I guess it's all related with getting old (see previous post).

Main topic was the reason why we do some things, like not going to have a drink on a weekday or going to class every day. The answer was the same: if we did so we would feel as if we were doing something we shouldn't, but why? Since we could start to be conscious of ourselves our parents were there telling us what was good and what was not, what to do and punishing us when we did something they didn't like. But also they were there not letting us fail, on anything we did, so right now we have two problems: 1) we have so deep inside what our parents want us to do that we actually believe that the things they want are the good ones 2) we are deeply afraid of failure, we rather wait forever than do something that could lead us to disappointment, we keep ourselves into the comfortable bubble looking at the world from there.

What can we do change it? Well in my case it's pretty easy: go to live alone, and anyways I think when I get to do it it's going to take a bit long to get rid of these habits.
