Times People Became The Very Thing They Swore To Destroy

Was there ever a time in your life when you realized you became the very thing you swore to destroy? Imagine someone spending most of their life despising all landlords until one day they come into a bit of cash and decide to invest in some property. Well the property tax is pretty steep, so they offset the financial burden by renting out the basement. Boom: they're now the thing they always hated. One may have strong views about things that feel pretty rigid, until that person's frame of reference changes slightly and their whole world view is turned upside down. One redditor asked people to recount times they become the thing they swore to destroy, and the answers are pretty entertaining.

Font - sebrebc • 5d 8 3 Awards In the late 80s, early 90s, I was a typical skater/ punk/metal head teen. I swore up and down I would never "settle down". I didn't want some 9-5 life with the house and family. I am happily married, have a great career, and love every second of it. There are times when I sort of wonder what my life would have been if I just kept doing what I was doing. But I'm pretty sure I would be miserable. Screwing around and partying is fun when you are 17-23, but in my 40s.
