It is full of homework assignments, jobs, friends, etc. I focus on those most of the time. I consider theology and philosophy my escapes. I enjoy questioning. You can't really question that much in real life. | Oh I think you can question "real life" more than anything .... but I'm a cynic so I question motives, etc of people ..... at this point in your life your parents take care of the everyday BS when you have to start doing all of it on your own ... you'll wonder about business motives of people and all kinds of things ..... questioning is good. I don't always take an alleged "proven" view .... there is always someone around the corner who says they can "prove" someone's theory wrong ..... Some people use questioning as a healthy escape and others become obsessed with the escape .... it's all about balance  I seem to be repeatring myself about the whole "balance" thing
