Writing Challenge - entry 14
Have you ever wondered or fantasized about what you would do if you were unrestricted and had unlimited resources? How would your life look? What would your day look like? Where would you live?
The savages over at Hallmark and Disney would have you fall for the "rags to riches" fantasy with all the waterboarding with cheap ads and force feeding of tragic consumerism to make yourself feel what passes for happy. For me, the fantasy of big house with white fence and fresh-cut lawn is a partial nightmare and the definition of conformity. But what if you don't know? Or what if you have so many ideas that you can't decide on just one.
It is easy to think that you don't need much from life - something to eat, somewhere to sleep, something fulfilling to do and someone to share it all with. But I, for one, find myself wanting more. There is an image of a shabby garage, classic rock rattling away on a cheap stereo in the corner, thoroughly used but tidy work bench with a pot and cup of Turkish coffee next to some tools, and an old European project car or motorcycle sitting in the middle of it all. There's also a fantasy of a cabin in the woods; a modest and remote home with view of mountains and no paved access. Idea of seclusion from the that seething cauldron of noise and pollution of urban landscape is quite appealing, but I am even more interested in being one with nature while feasting my eyes on the beauty of it all. Another way I could see myself spending a life is travelling the third world, setting up motorcycle touring companies tailored to offer foreign and domestic visitors exploration of the region on two wheels. After successful launch, I would hand over the entire company to the locals and move on to the next one. This would enable me to tour the world by motorcycle and see places I hadn't seen before while doing good for the local communities. I also daydream about an idea of creating a co-working space for makers, tinkerers and mechanics to fit the needs of metropolitans who can't afford their own work spaces or don't have a need for one full-time. This would enable impoverished geniuses to co-create wonder and magnificence and drive the technological future and progress.
All these ideas seem great to me, but I am not sure that I would want to commit to any one of them. Instead, I think I would be happy with just about any combination of them; and probably most happy with the right combination of all of the above.
