Wow your grandma is amazing! what an inspiration.
My gran is also spiritual but she has only ever learnt and understood the catholic religion but even tho she is just a simple lady, she is also very knowing and wise. She has alot of pain in her body from a life of hard physical labor, its only medication that keeps her going but she wants to leave this earth now especially now my granpa past away last year, he was climbing up trees at 87 and had a fall, had a broken hip and didn't recover which is incredible to think he was so active at that age. Both of them had a very tough physical life, him working with forestry and she spent half her life working the land, she said she had to carry 50kilos of corn for one hour to the nearest villages and its up and down the mountains. Everything back then had to be made yourself and would at least spend half the day in the kitchen using wood burning fire oven. Its no wonder that when modernization reached that part of the world, these older generations brought into the ease and convenience of all the store brought products. Even tho my grandparents gave up the farm, they still grew in the garden and had many organic delights, salad, potatoes, herbs, berries, tomatoes, apple, pears, apricots, plums. It was so wonderful to be there as a child!
We are so lucky that we should never take anything for granted, there are ppl who still live such a tough life, like u said no access to safe water and have to carry it for miles!
like u said as more ppl are waking up, the better the world is becoming! unfortunately as my gran says the world has been poisoned and its a tipping point its almost gone too far, ppl have to make some radical adjustments! I really want to see the end of exhaust fumes from cars! I'd like it to happen now.... i just can barely breath, even in the mountains where my gran lives, it is disgusting the cars that pass through and this is a big problem with large lorries transporting goods, another reason why we should buy as locally as possible.
Do you live in the USA btw...? You should join ur vegan chat room on discord https://discord.gg/RVAN4bK
Your grandma seems pretty bad ass herself! What kind of medication is she taking and what's it for? o:
Though your grandpa sounds more like what I'm aiming for, climbing trees 'til I die! Hehe <3
Mmmm it's interesting how much christianity has influenced the world... even though it's based on a corrupt manipulative system, thankfully people are naturally full of love so some still manage to turn it into a positive outlet!
Hahaha it's funny how the generations change so drastically! I love that hard work and wish more people saw that kind of "hard work" as play instead! :)
Your grandparents knew/experienced how to live for real! ;)
50kg is not an easy job, especially for any "normal" person now a days! :P
For real though, and the only way to see the end of such crazy "normalities" like all the insane ecological footprints human have invented/created is to be the change, and every day that change is being more and more implemented! :)
My grandparents use to live in Santiago, which is basically a super nasty smog valley, insane to see how many fumes get trapped in that city and even start tainting everything with its dark residues...... fortunately they finally moved to the south in the open super fresh divine air of the virgin forested mountains! <3
So I can relate to that hard-to-breath sensation from overwhelming toxicity in the air, somehow that's also become "normal", it's insane to think that in Beijing for example its "normal" to wear a gas mask while walking around the streets... pure insanity...
Buying local definitely helps, its ridiculous to think that places like Australia that grow tons of their own mangoes would import mangoes from another country, or same in the USA where Florida COULD grow mangoes so easily yet instead they're removing especially public mango trees and then importing them from Mexico... delusions have taken over, but thankfully are being exposed and overcome thanks to raising awareness! <3
I haven't used discord in ages haha but I am in the USA, sounds fun and already joined while writing this! Haha!
Awesome idea and creation, you seem really enthusiastic and active for creating, encouraging, and promoting positive change, love it! <3
