A life to be lived.

Whatever you choose to do, live with purpose.
Life cannot be about deadlines and schedules. Often, we judge our worth by wealth and power and status - societal ideologies which are noxious to the human spirit. Our worth is far more than the judgment men pass on us; it is determined by the level of happiness we create for ourselves - whatever our circumstances may be.
Undoubtedly, happiness varies from person to person and I am no judge of what constitutes happiness for each individual but often people define their life, void of happiness as it is, by society's expectations.
My idea of happiness?
Life in a dusty town out west, one of minimalism, discipline - moth moral and physical, a limitless supply of books, and one dedicated to the betterment of humanity.
Such is ideal.
