Settle Down Now
You must "settle down". Why is one told this? What are the benefits of "settling down"? To "settle": to put in order; put firmly in place; to free of agitation or disturbance; to establish residence; to establish a permanent home or occupation; to come to a decision; TO START LIVING A REGULAR ORDERLY LIFE....... there's more.... To apply steady effort or attention.
Hm. These sound like some good things to do. But why is this better? Why is this considered best? The "right" way to live? Now, we could eliminate some. For example, the Masai of Africa. Traditionally a wandering tribe, they are not firmly in place, but they do apply steady effort and attention. But it wouldn't be considered a regular, orderly life here in North America.
So place must have some bearing on "settling". Look at some of the other explanations of the word settle: to cause to subside, sink, or compact (as in ashes or dregs). These sound sort of like a....downer. Unless you're the liquid that the dregs are settling in. Then it all becomes quite clear.
So, to the point, if one does "settle down" as in 1. To start living a regular, orderly life, esp. after a period of wandering or irresponsibility, if one does as above, how is this better than, say, wandering? One can wander without being irresponsible. Bills are paid, cat is fed, house is insured and maintained. Then one wanders.
Why is it better to "settle", be polite in a community of UNlike minded persons. Exist in a world of distance among fellow existers. How is going to the job (you may like or dislike in varying degrees), sweeping the floor after work, karaoke on Saturday night, sleep in on Sunday, long for those two or three weeks off each year so you can "get away"....... How is that life? If that is "settling", and settling is life, I don't want it. You can have it. She's no good for me.
