I think I could turn and live with animals,
they are so
placid and self-contained. . . . .
they do not lie awake in the dark and weep
for their sins,
they do not make me sick discussing their
duty to god,
not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented
with the mania
of owning things,
not one kneels to another, nor to his kind
that lived
thousands of years ago,
not one is respectable or unhappy over the
whole earth.
-Walt Whitman
Why are we so domesticated?
complain about your job every day. but wake up tomorrow and do it to yourself again.
ask yourself: what does one need to be content in life?
satisfaction can come from...
- good food
- comfortable shelter
- safe living environment
- spiritual enrichment
- pleasing entertainment
AND
the society of good people.
All of these things can be attained by capable individuals willing to work together as egalitarians, exhibiting equality in labor and in any profits.
ESCAPE THE RAT RACE
i wrote that for myself, more than for anyone else that reads it. like a self-affirmation, maybe.
I'm a slave in the Midwest des moines.
i never shed my wanderlust... i keep spinning my wheels in the mire of what we label 'conventional society'. and systems; economic, political, social.
more and more, as i get older, and older, i feel i must escape the things that are harmful to me.
afterall, animals know what is best for them.
I'm thinkin about lighting-up from here, if i can , before the winter creeps in.
if i can get ahold of a vehicle, that'd be 1st-choice, but otherwise, maybe just load up the ol' pack with what i can carry, and hit the road... or, of course, use the ride board.
I'm not a hobo-jungle master. i cant play any musical instruments. and i don't know how to juggle.
but camping & self-sufficiency are my bread and butter.
I'd like to head west, through Colorado, to begin. and probably south, after that, for warmer climate.
i prefer companionship. but I'm a bit of a misanthrope - only to homo sapiens. the next evolution is required: 'homo communis', perhaps.
homo communi do not believe in the profiting of one of their kind from the labor of another. they recognize the limits of their natural resources, and seek a balance between themselves and their immediate environment.
we'll recognize the reasoning behind the theory
