ORIGINAL: MadRabbit Finally, leading up to the bigger and more controversial question intended for everyone, do you think a TPE dynamic (for the purposes of discussion, I am using TPE to mean an authority dynamic where major control over an individual's life is surrendered) at too young of an age can be an unwise life decision? Well, as a general rule, we don't have lifespans that only last 40 years these days, so while it behooved someone from times past to make those sorts of decisions at a younger age, it's just not necessary anymore. There is so much out there to taste and touch and experience now, so why make a decision that is going to have to last 60 or 70 years? Why not go to college, travel, spend some time working and building up something substantial for yourself first and get to know yourself a little better then see if what you thought, felt and desired doesn't change a bit from when you're 18 or 20. If it doesn't change, you still have plenty of time to get on a life path. If it does change, it's a whole lot easier to point toes in a different if they're not planted in the ground. I don't think it's 'always' unwise to make such life choices at a young age, but it's probably not 'usually' going to be the path which is best for someone who may not be aware of all the path which are actually out there.
