Why is it so difficult to live a simple life in First World Countries?
By this I mean. Why can I not build my own house on a simple piece of land and educate my child from home and generate my own power from an alternative energy source. All this without having some authority coming and disrupting such acts.
Let us slash bureaucracy and let people live life a bit easier.
Bureaucracy = uneventful life.

In response to your last writing I would like to say that;
- To my surprise, everyone is more comfortable and happy while doing a steady job. Get your per month emolument, enjoy being without risks, and take zero headaches. I am not criticizing you, but on one side we usually talk about change and on other we feel no courage to bring that change. Not even in our own lives.
- I was In the same position as you are now for the last two years. I was doing a ‘good’ job. Everything was fine to everyone, instead to me. I was extremely unhappy. People called me fortunate by having such a job. At last I decided to left, however it took two years for me to decide. Now I am good with myself. Ok fine I am out of money, but I am out of that deadly tension as well which was pinching my mind and soul every single day. I followed my heart. At least I can say that now.
- But I am single. My decision affected me only. I don’t know how it feels when one has on his shoulder the responsibility of others, of families, of parents. If you were single like me, I would definitely suggest you to take a step immediately. But you are not. Still there is hope. You can sharing your feelings to your family. They may support you and you may reach to a very appropriate decision soon.

Its nice hearing you were in similar situation. And I still remember a time when I had the freedom to make the big leap out. But you are right in that it is an entirely different situation when others rely solely on you. It lifts my heart to hear your considerate words. And I'm sure I'll figure a way out. I think most Tedsters do, or die trying!

Muhammad makes some very good points and observations. An important one I see is..."I followed my heart".
Another good suggestion is to share your feelings with your family, they may support you, and you may reach an appropriate decision ALL TOGETHER:>) Perhaps making them more aware of your feelings will include them in your "team" and they may not feel like they "rely solely on you".
