To Each His Own

Dear Yeti,

What does it mean to be cultured?

It depends on the person. Some people feel that being cultured means dressing up and going to fancy parties. Some feel that attending the theatre, or ballet, or art exhibits is being cultured. Still others feel that reading a new book they've never heard of, or listening to some music they're unfamiliar with is being cultured.

The Yeti enjoys movies, books and the occasional play or musical. Art is pretty cool as well. Not big on cocktail parties...much rather have a crooked bar stool.

At the end of the day, what really matters is that you do what makes you happy. And do it with people that make you happy. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks; life is way too short.

Until next time,

The Yeti

On second thought, you're exactly right about this! Perhaps someone was implying you should "conform" rather than being the individual you are. And the fact that you spelled theater "theatre" makes you just as cultured as anyone else.

Bitter people only want you to become as bitter as they are. Misery loves company. And that company will not be us!
