Is it okay if you move from a place that everyone says is better to a place that everyone says is worse, to be happy?

Like if you decide to move from San Diego to Bakersfield.

Can lawyers be questioned for conflict of interest, where the "conflict of interest" only relates to their past experiences in life?

For example, if the lawyer was harmed by a particular corporation, and ten years later, is representing a client in a lawsuit against that corporation.

Would motions be filed to remove this lawyer? Or could he be questioned about his past experiences or potential bias, in front of a jury?

Why if you come from a low-income background, you're allowed to be happy with a fairly low amount of money, but if you come from a wealthier household, people won't allow you to be happy unless you get a high-earning career?

Same with why in the past, people were allowed to be happy despite having a relatively lower amount of experiences (like never leaving the region/country) but now people seem to find it unacceptable for someone to be happy with their life like that?

Why is it considered more responsible to make more money?

Isn't it just a different choice in life? Like if instead of getting a college degree and working as a civil engineer, I decide to work as a tour guide instead, and spend as little money as possible and live in the cheapest apartment I can find, while still saving money for retirement, why is that considered irresponsible?

What should a student do if they failed to complete homework with no excuse?

I mean I have an assignment due in 2 hours and didn't manage to complete most of it. There's no reason, I just started it too late. I was supposed to give a presentation. I'm not trying to get any extension or credit, I just don't know what is the right thing to do. I'm a college student.

I don't want to make my own decisions, I just want someone to tell me what to do.

If someone could tell me what to do and I could ignore everyone else and just follow that, I would be happy.

The world is too confusing, like one person wants you to support communism, another wants you to be financially successful. One wants you to be promiscuous, another wants you to be celibate. One wants you to believe in a religion without questioning it, another wants you to believe that death is the end and there is no god. I don't want to deal with all this.

Would you be unhappy if you invested money into your child's education, and then after they graduated from college, they chose to get a low-paying job?

Like, a lot lower salary than they could have got if they chose a different career.

DAE feel your reason to have certain goals is just because society/certain people say so?

I am generally willing to live however way I'm "supposed to" do so, because I don't see any "inherent" reason that one set of values is better than another, morally, or as a preference. For example, if the "society around me" says I should be conservative, or liberal, or communist, I would do that. Same with being celibate, or promiscuous. Or pro-tech or anti-tech. (Yes I'm perfectly willing to cut myself off from the internet and computers if people think I should [not people here]) Or whether I should believe in science, empiricism, logic, or religion, tradition, and blind faith. Or whether I should fight against oppression, or become wealthy from systems that oppress others. Or whether I should live an exciting, high energy lifestyle or a boring, mundane one. And so on. The question is only who/what I should follow. I don't have any particular desires, life is just a game to me, and in a game you know what the goal is, and try to accomplish it.

DAE feel this way?
