[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7832739, member: 63856"] No shame in it at all, what is required is that you need to remember what happened: "I sold the farm" and not dwell on the story about what happened: "been in the family for generations and I am the loser" because that's only the story about it what real benefit is there in spending your "free years" attempting to appease your ancestors? They won't give you a sign. I say that freedom is more important than obligation, if you are committed to farming then stay farming. If you are committed to spending the rest of your life enjoying freedoms you didn't know you could have, go get 'em just learn to work out for yourself that many people would be living vastly different lives, perhaps even getting more fulfillment, if they were living their life instead of being caught up in the story I can imagine the story if I inherited our family farm, but I declined and it was sold to a couple of guys who really benefit from having a wee bit extra, and I have no regrets [/QUOTE]
