Karma Drama
January 12th 2007 06:50
They'd both left home by the age of 21, met at 27 and had me by 35. Considering the universal law of what goes around comes around, I should have stopped residing in the place they call home 3 years ago.
If one was to consider that our financial lives are relative to property prices, Inner Sydney can be percieved as one of the poorer parts of the country. Along with a more casualised (relaxed?) workforce, many have come to accept that around half their pay packet will be spent on rent.
For those of us whose baby boomer parents lived the highlife and blew their life savings before gen x and y came into their lives, there are high expectations which can be impossible to be met. A secure career and an apartment with harbour views is what society gave them, but what about us?
Maybe we don't want these things, but if not, what do we want? With many of us shifting careers thoughout our 20's, an acceptance of eclecticism would be appreciated. Also taking responsibility for the change in weather patterns would be welcome - why do people drive 4WD's when they live by beaches that are close to the city?
Our lives should be able to mould into a definitive fit as we get older, just as it has for the generations before us. As for the forever struggling artists and those in the face of persecution, be sure to be around when the karma train comes to town.

Thought provoking post.
....eclecticism does require a sense of purpose.
Karma simply deals with what is.
Hope you are well.

I truly appreciate you going places where few bloggers dare to tread (eg commenting here).
On eclecticism, I was referring to the career changes that us GenY kids may tend to go through. Acceptance of such by employers would create positve energy flowing into good karma, leading to good vibes all round.
I am well, thankyou.
I hope you are too.
