Marc,

Live as you like.

I'll continue to:
prefer peaceful communication with those I encounter
love my family members and friends
move through life, with a dance in my steps, to the rhythms found  
therein
as far as "trip the light fantastic"
see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_the_light_fantastic_(phrase)>
for references to Shakespeare, Milton, Thackery and more

You can:
"prefer war" (many others obviously do as well)
love only your wife - (no children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters  
or dear friends?)
move your body as ungracefully as you like
and
see vomit in a poetic phrase with long literary tradition

feeling a tad sad,
