| I would have to agree with flip_jackson on all his points, but here are a few comments on # 1.
As a parent of two little girls and husband, what I do with my body, my time, and my energy vastly effects my family. If I party all night long and neglect my family, I am selfishly stealing quality time from my wife and kids. Especially for my kids, their future depends largly in part to how I train them. If I neglect them, they will grow up with a poor outlook on fathers, and on men in general. Rather, if I balance my time between things I like to do for myself and sacrificing my time for them, they will have a much better up-bringing.
So, in this sense, I do not only belong to me, but to my family. They depend on me, and I am responsible to them. |
