I feel as though folks who are more of your mind (and mine) are destined simply to watch this all unfold ever more tragically... you and I, and those of similar minds, can live slower and more simply all we wish, it’s not going to change the overwhelming rush of this civilization towards its own collapse. Most people in this civilization are enjoying it too much... they don’t see any other way of being is even possible, other than ever more (ever faster) of the same. As if the real value and meaning in life, isn’t simply in one’s loving relationships with others, including one’s kin in the natural world. Sigh...
I agree entirely. That's basically why I left Twitter. I've been writing this crap for years, and every day the rest of the world gets farther and farther down their current path. So - now I'm only going to bother to write when I can't help it, with an acceptance that I'm only writing it for myself and maybe a few dozen others who already agree.
And the rest of the time, watch the world proceed to where they have chosen to go. I don't think they'll like it when they get there, but nothing I can do about that.
