My Life... My Freedom..they call me Paul Carson (Part 2 of 2)

They call him Paul Carson,

Born in Belfast, Ireland; this guy has had one heck of a life. If I go in extreme detail about his life it will take a very long blog post to accommodate it; so I will keep it short.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Remember the reason I am sharing his life story is because there are certain things about his life that should be given more thought to, and that to me defines real freedom...and of'course you need to read Part 1 in order to get the background of what I mean. Ok whatever... let me just get on with it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a child he was like any other normal kid who wants to play sports and complete his schooling and life was normal...

Then came the stage of choosing of what he wanted to be in life,

Ah..he said "I am very good at Maths and Physics let me try my hand at being a graduate in Civil Engineering,...okie dokie.. starts his course in Civil Engineering in some college....
....and a year into the course he realises that civil engineering is too much for him and is not what he wants to become in life... and leaves the course half way....yeah. Ok.

Then what,

hmmm... he says... "what else do I like... screw it"...

and then what he decides to do?

He takes off on a 3 year vacation to see the entire EU..yeah just like that. (Yes for 3 years, it is not a typo)

"I like Greece " he says after completing his 3 year vacation.
Είστε πολύ τρελό Paul!..I shout out in Greek...
(ok ok I confess I said that in English)

Ok now what...

hmmmm...he says.. I'd like to learn Scottish and Greek Literature, and arrives at the University Of Glasgow for 4 years to complete his graduation and Post Grad in Literature.

I ask him.. what are your plans after you pass out from here...

hmmm... he says, "I'd like to go back to Greece catch up with friends and then maybe after a few months go to India on a vacation for about 5-6 months, then to Nepal, and then couple of months in Sri Lanka.

Wow I say!!

I ask him don't you want to settle in life maybe get a nice job, get married and live a normal life!!

hmmm.... (and he said nothing)... and it is the most confused I have seen him ever when I told him something very normal.

I ask him what kind of work do you see yourself doing ...?

hmmm...he says, "I really dunno, I have worked like 20-25 different jobs, so I can't really pin point one actually!" and I faint and fall on the floor. (Ok I did not faint but... duh')

And I ask him to list out each... hmmmm. he says, " lets see from working, in bars, in restaurants, banks, Universities, Being a warden, Kindergarten, care taker, in a car renting company and he keeps listing down for about 2-3 minutes more... and finally he says ...yeah thats about it.
...hey I almost forgot I have also worked in a cemetery.

Eah...Ohhhk...so..hmmm..eah....hmmmm...Okkk....(were the exact words I said once he finished)

You know what Maulin..I dunno what I am gonna do..I take life as it comes and don't like to think much about the future...

You know what Maulin. "I like my life, I like my freedom, thats who I am"

And that got me thinking about what he said and the pure freedom of life he was experiencing, no unnecessary peer pressure, no obligations to prove anything to anyone.

I feel this is one way of living life and now when you compare it with the life we live back in the country (Part 1), I would want to know the opinion of others about this way of living life.

Every country, culture has its own way of living life and every individual has to decide the way he/she wants to live.

As the famous saying goes

"Those who wish to sing, always find a song."
