“Never before have human beings made so much with so much” - me

This thought occurs to me every now and then when I’m feeling like giving myself a panic attack. The baffling reality of our consumption-based culture is something that makes it hard for me to catch my breath. I’m no better. This isn’t shared from atop a milk-crate whilst I gesticulate wildly and tout anything. I’m bad like that. I can see a myriad of ways in which one could opt for a life with a smaller footprint, one where I could breathe easier knowing I’m doing something about the human juggernaut. I’ve gotta say though, I’m kind of thinking we should just get it over with and continue with the blinders; see what happens. That right there though is basically the definition of rationalization. In my past I’ve lived communally in a household whose ethos was one of mindfulness and positivity, a couple-few times actually. It really is a healthier-feeling life. For the most part though, humans don’t live that way.

I’m going to go to bed now. Tomorrow is another day.
