How to Deal With Various Ideologies?

I'm in a very interesting spot. I'm surrounded by people whom have very fierce loyalties to their selected resolutions and ideologies. This isn't bad, but I'm caught in between them, and I have to constantly deal with onslaughts of questioning and prodding. My best friend is a business man, and he comes into contact with other business men. They all talk about working now, to achieve financial and mental harmony. Everything can be achieved with hard, vigorous work. Others say enjoy my youth, and take it slow because I'll never get these years back. My other friend is an anarchist, essentially, whom believes knowledge should be free, nature rules above all, and pretty much a mixture of very interesting ideologies, but he calls me and others fearful for wanting to have stability and going to school and trying to do anything more than brute risk.

I can go on for days explaining their vast rationale, but it get frustrating for me. I'm intelligent, but my intellect is very primeval and I take a lot on intuition. I want to understand the world, but I know it's too vast for me to every fully understand. Overall, I'm not a business man, I'm not a reborn philosopher, I'm just an artistic that wants to make work worth remembering and I want someone I can stand with on deep, emotional levels. I want to help people, and I want a nice home. I just want simplicity, and everyone is telling me that is wrong. Im bing pulled in so many directions that I feel like I'm going insane. This post doesn't even begin to express the people and situations that have led to this point.

Anyway, how do I deal with this? I apologize for the long response.
