<p>You have every right to pursue your spirituality on your own dime.</p>
<p>Most of us are in the rat race so our kids (like you) could go to college. I do think about future, and there are plenty of things (interests) I would like to pursue someday. Today, I have 2 young adults who I have to put through college, because I want to make sure they could support themselves someday.</p>
<p>There are many students on CC who are pursuing their dream of making it in the art/music world, or volunteering in some remote places. But they are doing it by hard work - holding down day jobs and performing at night, or living at some remote place without bare necessities (Africa). They are living with a sense of purpose, and I am sure spirtually they are very fulfilled. They are not wasting their parents’ money or their own time (2 years of college without anything to show for).</p>
<p>You need to get over yourself about thinking everyone is stupid.</p>
