I think Leo Tolstoy and Wallace Stegner both come to me with the same wisdom of living life. I strongly agree with both that when you're out of all the burdens coming from daily life, history, law and any kinds of obligation you live your life as yourself. Being a footloose is not a problem; it just helps you release all the hidden energy from the ordinary boring life.
Chris is in that situation. It makes him happy when he has nothing to do with all the expectations from parents and society any more.
Great statement, Duc! "Being footloose is not a problem..." Perhaps if more of us were 'footloose' and willing to challenge ourselves with new adventures and hurdles, life might be a bit more intriguing. Good insight!
