### 🔍 Topic Description:

Dido once sang in her haunting track Life for Rent:

> “If my life is for rent / and I don't learn to buy / well I deserve nothing more than I get / ‘cause nothing I have is truly mine.”

In an age where freedom is often defined by flexibility, independence, and keeping options open—are we truly living if we’re constantly avoiding roots, risk, and responsibility?
This gathering invites you to explore one of the deepest philosophical questions of modern life:

> Is a life without commitment a life half-lived?

***

### 🧠 Questions we’ll explore together:

• What does it mean to “own” your life?
• Is avoiding commitment a form of fear or a kind of wisdom?
• Can a person grow without putting down roots?
• Is freedom the absence of responsibility—or the courage to choose one thing deeply?

***

🎙️ No philosophy background needed—just an open mind and heart. We will speak, reflect, and listen with care and curiosity, Socratic-style.
📚 Optional readings and inspirations include: Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Viktor Frankl, Dido’s lyrics, and your own lived experience.
