So, I've been wondering what the incentive is to leave the single life. I could, for instance, substitute teach through the school year and firefight during the summer. This would give me enough money to pay rent on an apartment and leave plenty of time to fish. Of course, providing for a family down the road might be difficult. But cut a family out of the equation and everything works out, right? So far as a I can tell, a life well-lived comes from purpose, not propagating an overcrowded planet without committing all your time and energy into providing for a child, which while noble, is not something I see myself capable of properly doing. Anyway, I think about this stuff, maybe other people do too. The future is approaching.
