Beautiful post, I loved reading it. Self reliance is important to me in many ways and as you mentioned, it doesn’t only include you.
I,ve been self employed for the past 25 years. My kids have been with us every step of the way and learned from the first step of creating to delivering.
They know that you need to take care of the people you work with, the neighbors. And the community.
Nice work and a credit to you for imparting such valuable attitudes in your kids...and for being self-employed for 25 years (I've done it too and it's not easy.) These days, so many people look to others (AI even) to solve issues and do things for them and I believe it's dumbing people down and society in general. I disagree with the reliance people have on others and AI, computers, the government, police, farmers, tradespeople and so on...back in the day people had to do stuff for themselves and now...it's too easy to act like (and be) a fucken meat sack and not have to use one's brain or body to get things done.
People can be such dumbasses. Not you though, or me, so well done to us!
I feel you and I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking that 😂 we grow our own fruit and vegetables, they learned the skill of arching. They need to learn that things grow outside a supermarket. That meat is an animal. Maybe that sounds a bit weird 😂
Yep, I do that too, hunt for, kill and process my own meat (see image inside my last post from yesterday) and grow as well. I work with my hands, fuck things up and try again and learn all the while. People are so lazy these days, and yet they say they need all the time in the world that technology gives them to do...umm, I don't know what, play video games and masturbate?
True 😂😂 well they learn technology and the art of, because it’s an art, growing their own foods. You can’t say, I don’t have time, when you do it 😉
Exactly right. Some people will never get it though.
Nice to meet you, a person with the same realistic view on society
And you too...we should form a club...I know a few other like-minded people.
