If something clearly isn’t working the way it should, we shouldn’t really lambast the people trying to do things another way. People doing things in new ways understand that they have to take responsibility when things don’t exactly turn out as planned, but when has something ever gone exactly to plan?

For me it’s more exciting and perhaps only a little less likely to succeed to constantly try things in a new way. As long as you’ve got your bases covered, and take responsibility when things go south, what’s wrong with trying a new way of living?
