I just don’t understand why some people can get so mad over the idea of wearing sweatpants around… I think it is probably more they are just mad about other things in life in general, and just want an excuse to get mad or vent about something… which then for some it might turn into a pride issue of being the one that comes out of the argument either right or wrong…
Why can’t we all just be comfortable?
I’m not running around in my underwear, my legs are covered, and I think some sweatpants are designed rather fashionably anymore… to me if worn right, sweatpants are a very nice winter/spring/fall look… Makes the town almost look like a ski town or a pleasant town up north… a welcoming feeling in many ways…
I do understand the argument about the way you dress affecting your work attitude… I think it helps a person role play the position they want to fill in many regards… That is all a lot of us adults are really doing anyways, we all got to a certain age and started roleplaying different characters… Some of us roleplayed so hard we forgot who we are…
To take a quick quote from the new testament…“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven”… Which of course we still need to be adults and be vigilant against evil forces and things like that, we have to work and make the world go around… but, perhaps you get the gist of what I am saying
But I am wondering if we are getting to a point where we don’t need all the extra stuff to dive into our character’s ya know? Part of me thinks that the changes are already in motion, and that each generation will progressively get us closer to the maximum level of comfort while still remaining vigilant…
Maybe making ourselves more comfortable at work and getting a bit of that home feeling may actually make us more productive and friendlier? Give people more of our home personalities rather than our work personalities… Maybe in the proper environment some people would want be there all day and even hang out after!
I don’t know… if everyone still likes going the extra mile to get into character, that is fine as well… I actually had an interesting idea when we achieved world peace if certain towns would want to adopt a theme to roleplay or something like that? Why not have a medieval town somewhere that functions within society? Old Western Towns? Greek Towns? I don’t know… we may just have way too many different personalities to ever pull off something like that… plus what are the effects of a child raised in a roleplaying environment? Maybe we should wait until heaven for that… a fun thing to ponder anyways… could be possible if the world was ever in a good enough place economically and mentally…
I have a feeling some restaurants may always have dress codes… always have are little role-playing environments where we can feel classy and things like that… But, just realize that is all you guys are really doing in those places… role playing! Hehe
Maybe it will get to a certain point some day when it is just like certain nights at restaurants… classy night… casual night… ball night… medieval night… etc…
Can we all accept one day that we are all just actors and learn to embrace roleplaying different characters… It can be so hard for people to break the current character they are playing… Society also needs to accept that a person can change or act like something else as well…
I personally at times just feel like I am rather just one of the world’s greatest actors… This is more me writing, but I can get into different characters and give people what they want for different situations… (“Schizophrenic thought?”: Like for me, to be king, is just a position I roleplay from time to time and give people what they want, I am a great method actor, I can fully embrace a role and become what you want, but when I am myself, I am not a king in my opinion… I have fully embraced that role for so long, it takes some time to take my mind out of it though)
I can’t believe this turned into a 750 word+ post… I just wanted to make an argument why I should be able to wear sweatpants without catching any flak for it…
