Lonely Soul: Who owns my life?

Its impossible to be ideal,

Difficult to be pragmatic,
Boring to be practical,
Silly to be maudlin.

Sad is the fact that people judge you on the basis of how you live, sadder that you value their opinions, saddest that their perceptions lead you towards a life that is not your own calling. Corny, cliched but true is the fact that the ones who judge couldn't really care any less about how your life turned out and the ones who do care wouldn't judge in the first place. But do you dare to find out if its true? Do I? :)
