Back to the country

The world is facing two wars at the same time. Enormous efforts are being made to avoid full escalation and reduce civilian casualties.

Everybody is immediately, quietly, thinking about their security. Are we safe? In which position is our country? are we in danger of being involved in any conflict soon?

You have to start thinking if these conflicts will be in the future and if there will be no way to escape the horrors of the modern world.

One idea to consider is to change the way we are living and abandon city life, technology, the scientific advancements. Maybe what we should do is simplify, go back to the country and learn to minimize all our needs. This will ensure humankind will continue to populate the earth and not destroy all resources.

But we are not capable, we are used to living with technology, we need all our commodities, and we lost the instinct to work with our hands and satisfy our primary needs.

Can we learn to do that? yes, probably, but we lack the impulse to do it. The big reason, we see all the changes surrounding us, the trends, the destruction and we still think that somehow things will get better and that we are not there yet to abandon all and get back to the country.

Alice sense of entitlement

Sometimes when I admire Alice, I wonder if her cat personality has a sense of entitlement or if she simply behaves as a Queen-pet- cat. Alice - The Queen A sense of entitlement is defined as “unrealistic, unmerited or inappropriate expectation of favorable living conditions and favorable treatment at the hands of others”.
