RE: IFC S1 R32 - Freedom ... from a personal perspective
Great entry leighleigh. Some powerful ideas to mull over and ponder for sure!
There is an option …. live off the grid
Indeed! It is tough to do though! It would be ideal if we could bring freedom to the masses though rather than having to essentially segregate ourselves. But.. I mean.. When the system is so corrupt.. What do you do? Sometimes the only thing you can do is separate. So.. I think there's some deep wisdom there.. And.. Maybe the answer is for us to sort of find a way to go our own way. Thanks for the thought provoking entry!
Thanks @apolymask. It would be tough making the transition, especially as we are so used to certain comforts. To convert to solar panels, water tanks, and so on is also costly. I have a friend who actually went right back to basics - he and his wife and 2 children lived in a shack on a piece of land which he rented, pumped water from a stream, made a fire for heating water and cooking, used gas lamps and candles, and grew the most amazing veggies which he was able to sell. He also grew weed hidden amongst the bush and this provided some income as well although it is illegal here. Unfortunately he couldn't always pay the monthly rent and had to move off the land.
I wish I knew the answer!
