2/2 is life really about giving up all ur possessions and connections to civilization and returning to being an animal? the rest of the world is going to space and theyre going to party with the aliens while ur getting all upset about 'the system'
obviously u should do it at some point in ur life. but its not a matter of morality as far as im concerned. friends and family is the highest truth in life, and whatever makes having those things the easiest is the right way forward. u dont have to totally sell ur soul in order to have those things.
i dont like the fact that all technology, our food, clothes, cars, appliances, are made with slavery. am i a bad person for using any of these things? is some indian dude, packed into a reeking call center cubicle, in the middle of jeetistan, a bad person for using a computer and phone, that was made with slavery? no.
obviously, u get to choose what kind of life u want. if u spend an hour playing video games, u r not spending an hour outside with the woodland critters. the choice is yours.
but it seems like 'living in the woods' just ends up falling back into the category of 'work.' ur not partying w friends, laughing, joking, drinking, smoking, eating delicious food, having a picnic in the park... ur ruggin' it out. and its just work at the end of the day. play is where its at. more play with friends and loved ones, less work, is freedom. the best things in life r free, friendship and love.
