How do you view foundations for life?

Question

Do you see foundations as a necessary thing in life, because that support who you are and what you do? Do you feel that you need to be grounded into the earth before letting loose on "experiments" that might go bad?

Or do you see foundations as a bad thing, that because they ground you into the earth you have no free will that can be desirable to things that the foundation won't support?

Also, if your foundation is a person in your life, does that mean if that person ever left you, you could never stand back up, because you've lost the foundation upon which you had been standing?

Answer 1

A foundation is a false sense of security. Its best to do what needs to be done. Of course its nice to have a foundation when ever possible but to rely on one to keep you standing makes you weaker.

Answer 2

i see good, supportive foundations as a good thing, negative restraining foundations as a bad thing
your foundation should be your rock you stand on, from which you then go out to explore the world, whether its your belief system, a person, or being grounded, it should alllow you to fly, while giving you a place to land when you need to
if your foundation get rocky, or starts to crumble, you then need to fix it, alter it, or develop a new one
no, you shouldnt fall down and not get back up, if your foundation falters, its not suppose to be the total means of your support, only a help tool
