How Long is Long Enough

I have been thinking today about time and its arbitrary nature. How is it that four years came to be the time that it would take to finish a degree? How long is an appropriate engagement? How old should you be before you get your driver's license? When should you legally be considered an adult? I'd love to be able to say that there shouldn't be any absolutes, but there are. People also make absolute decisions for themselves such as: How long should we wait between having children? When should we retire? At what age should we potty train?

What I'm trying to say is that it is important to question our preconceptions. Try to look at your life from an outside perspective. It is important that we make correct decisions for the right reasons.
