@pintohoo You are not the majority, neither am I - have tried the 'colourful' life - had many adventures - and now as I - quite recently- stared 'Death' in the face - (I had an extremely painful infection of my bowel and didn't know) - realised I was happy with my life, my little explorations which gave me so much to mull over about 'life on earth' and its various inhabitants, the people i love and loved, some i hated but no more - they have sunk into oblivion - I am good at forgetting . . . .
I feel I am content - and I am not critical of anyone of how they view life, how they tackle it - we all have our moments of glory, or enlightenment, or even of love of our fellow human being - unconditionally. We are all capable of grand emotions, grand deeds, but for many of us this is not important. It is important for me, that I have 'not lived in vain' and I go about it in an almost instinctive way, looking for big and little ways to enjoy my day, or be useful to someone or some critter . . . .
Above all, I think I have learnt not to be judgmental of others; not for any moral reason, but it simply makes me feel better to approach everyone with the naivete of a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) and be either pleased or disappointed after a number of exchanges.
Thus life is still an adventure for me! I wish the same for you Taurisk
