Do you think as you get older, you care less about changing the world?

Question

for the better by getting involved and holding your ground in your ideals - and more about recoiling to your own small world of family and circle of friends and 'getting your own,' making yourself happy?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I care even more about being a positive influence in the world. I think of the issues as my children and want to see them grow into fruition so others can benefit.

Answer 3

When I was old enough to have complex thoughts and ideas I was always thinking of ways to improve humanity.  I thought about pollution and city planning.  I was thinking of new inventions and also writing lots of stories.  I was more imaginative and had the energy to even write stories and draw concepts.  Now I dont even bother drawing my thoughts or writing stories.  Sometimes I wish I had the energy or desire to finish a really decent novel.  But most of the time I am satisfied getting my heart-rate up through exercise.

I used to be more creative and imaginative when I was younger.  I also worried about the environment and humanity in general.  Now I accept everything for how they are and enjoy what is around me.  I dont think about ideals or concepts....I just go on bike rides in my areas and occasionally go on vacations and my mind doesnt seem to be wandering as much.  

Besides, having too many ideas can be stressful.  I prefer living the simple life.  It is not my place to worry about everything.  I dont have the means or power to change the world.  I like where I live and I think the world is fair enough.
