i made a decision 5 years ago to never shop at walmart unless it was an emergency. although, i cannot imagine what an emergency like that would look like, and as it turns out, that emergency has never materialized.

its my belief that once you understand the principles of a circular economy, and what a place like walmart does to it, you cant continue to support it.

in fact, i believe that people who do understand this, yet continue to shop there, are at best short signted and lack self discipline. and at worst, are short sighted, narcisitic, assholes.

but then that is easy to say isnt it. i just bought something from Amazon today.

we are convienience addicts. to the point that we act like crack addicts in withdrawl if we have any sort of sustained inconvienience. and what concerns me the most about this, aside from the weakness, is that we are sitting ducks for those who would control us.

we barely even put up a fight. we are too busy arguing over the button placement on the new iPhone. really stop and think about how embarasing that is. and dont think for a second i am pointing at you and excluding myself.

what this comes down to is this one thing i am learning... if you dont take action on your convictions, your apathy becomes stronger, and your will becomes weaker. your will is a muscle, and responds to both growth, and apathy in the same way as a muscle.

if you understand what i am saying, you know i dont need to say any more.
