Anthropologists have shown that many of the African bush tribes, who lived in some of the most inhospitable areas, could satisfy the needs (security/food/shelter) of their people in three days. The other four days of the week were spent gossiping, sitting around the fire, making art, singing, and pontificating about the magic of the world.

And then life was over at the ripe old age of 39.
😆
39 good years 😂
To be clear, I wasn’t suggesting that we return to a hunter gathering existence. I was trying to point out that we do not need much to “survive” and that what some people are “struggling” for are not the necessities of life. That being said, there are many in North America and around the world who are. Also, our system jn NA doesn’t make it easy to find a place somewhere in the middle, where I think true happiness resides. For me anyway.
Lol I understood. Roya nailed it in identifying the fiat system being at the center of society’s problems. It feeds the human addiction to power and money for those that benefit most from it, and the ripple effect out steals away the opportunity for others to thrive and sustain themselves within the system. I think we’re all probably hovering around the same conclusions, just each describing different aspects of it from our own perspectives.
Yes, exactly. I'm a simple man and I desire simple things. It shouldn't be this "hard", or I shouldn't have to "struggle" so hard to achieve the life I want. WIth all of the conveniences and progress we have made, we all should be much "wealthier" (not talking about material possessions).
