I've been thinking about this for awhile.
We have become used to the "disposable". Disposable everything. We think we take care of things but we don't. Sure, many people fix their own cars, change their own oil, maybe even fix things around their house and property, and other such things but do you take care of the little things like your bar of soap?
Do you save bacon fat or take care not to get your cooking oils (hopefully animal based) past smoke temperature and filter them to reuse them at least one more time?
Do you really look after that sweater you bought from Old Navy? My wife knitted me a couple of sweaters and I look after those like a hawk. They "mean" something to me. She knitted me a whole blanket and you could not pry that thing from my cold dead fingers.
It's these little things that we have (well most people, not all) come to disregard and I blame ourselves for accepting a corporate-government-media education. And ourselves.
When I buy a bar of soap from SoapMiner I take time to take care of it. Not because he's a Circle P Vendor but because I respect the time he put into making it. I respect the value I'm exchanging for it. It's important to me to change the entire way I process information, value, and time.
I guarantee you that your grandparents took care of something as simple as a bar of soap. I guarantee you that their grandparents took care of their bar of soap, probably because they made it themselves and they could "feel" the time they spent on it every time they washed their hands.
Things are changing for all of us at the macron AND the micro layers. Honestly, it excites me that this is happening.
Now go wash your hands.
