It is interesting how the world works in regards to lifestyle. I believe that today our lives are generally easy and at times maddeningly complex. Madness being an entirely personally subjective term. I would submit however that our lives are meant to be quite simple and relatively challenging. Relative to your individual ability to survive said challenges and so appreciate the hardship.
My evidence for this placidly bold statement is the impact of the aforementioned ease on our ability to use this planet to live on.
When we cherished our tribes fire as a living thing the planet could absorb the carbon emissions. By taking the easy way we have, one and all, and our fathers before us, doomed ourselves to a repetition of our species sad sad history.
I often wonder if it will be a sort of dark ages after the fall of the Roman empire kind of fall or will it be the kind of fall that preceded the birth of Sumer. Only time will tell I guess.
