Breaking the Link in the Happiness Machine!
I've given years of thought on what to do about our climate. Recently, I watched a YouTube video, the 'Happiness Machine'; confirming my knowledge about the decades of brain washing humans have undergone.
Brain washing has turned the human race into 'feel good machines'. We keep trying to fill up on products we are told will make us feel good about ourselves. Empty calories for a hungry world!
I've stopped filling myself with 'empty calories' (things I don't need); I fill up on trips to the natural world; which keeps me renewing and rejoicing in my connection to a greater purpose: accepting my responsibility as a steward to animals, humans and the planet. No small job!
We can not wait for government or industry to do this job. They won't. It is contrary to their interest.
Be tenacious! If enough of us stop being a link in the 'feel good machine'; take a walk on the wild side: accept personal responsibility for stewardship of life: our 'feel good' will be nutritious, fascinating, invigorating and fun!
