They could have it set so people can't see how they voted on posts.

Good thought, but the point of a vacation is to escape routine, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. Even someone with a happy, productive, wonderful life could use a vacation.

I have a great life. I have a computer, an iPod, a relatively stable family, I'm getting a [somewhat] good education, I have pets, and I don't have to get a job yet. [Want one, granted, but don't need one. And I'd have no way to get there, so...] But I still enjoy vacations and weekends and holidays and days off...

I really like this. In fact, it's one of the best POTD I've seen in a loooong time :)

And in this imaginary world where one would never need a change of pace, can I have a pet chocobo to ride to work? Because *that* would really make me happy xD

I still go to school, and each weekday I look forward to each weekend with the heightened anticipation of a twenty year old towards their next birthday.

I love your analogy. I'm twenty years old, so I know exactly what you're speaking of. :D

Or I could create a life that needs no escape by going on vacation.

Well its a good post, but what is a life without adventures? To me it is not a matter of vacationing to escape my daily life, as much as it is to just go on an adventure. I mean no matter what it is, its technically an escape. Some of us just value traveling/seeing the world highly-you can also make that apart of your life. My boyfriends dad rode the train tracks across the country when we was just 18, he has a story for every day.

No matter how hard you try, its not physically possible to create that kind of life. There will always be outside factors, there will always be a need to escape from the daily life, no matter how hard you try. Trying that hard to make it perfect, will only exhaust you more. No, I'm not a pessimist, just realistic.

i don't know about that. sometimes you need to live life from a different perspective, in order to find deeper meaning in your own life...you know, sometimes it's an actually necessary journey for the individual to literally 'escape' for awhile, to better appreciate life and better empathize with all of the different lives around them... but yeah, i totally get what your reasoning. just wanted to play Devil's Advocate ;)
