The hood is also a low-stress, comfortable life. All your mental energy goes into getting by, so you don__ have to ask yourself any of the big questions. Who am I? Who am I supposed to be? Am I doing enough? In the hood you can be a forty-year-old man living in your mom__ house asking people for money and it__ not looked down on. You never feel like a failure in the hood, because someone__ always worse off than you, and you don__ feel like you need to do more, because the biggest success isn__ that much higher than you, either. It allows you to exist in a state of suspended animation.
