A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

To give OP a boon, my friend's mother had a plaque with a saying along the lines of "I was born against my will and I will die against my will. So please let me at least live like I want to."
I think that's a good philosophy to approach your own life and the people you encounter.
I liked the quote until I started to think of the negative parameters of such a saying. It comes down to who is saying it < their intention.
'I was born against my will and I will die against my will. So please let me at least live like I want to.' - Ted Bundy
v.s.
'I was born against my will and I will die against my will. So please let me at least live like I want to.' - Betty White
Well, to come back to your post they chose to live like that to a degree. I guess for themselves it was nice.
