RE: Are they crazy or am I? The nonconformist's dilemma

in #homesteading7 years ago (edited)

Well I do not know where to start. I resteemed this for many reasons, mostly I want to read it again and again. You are the voice for so many who have not got the words on how to articulate what so many feel. Many feel this way and they will stay in that world created by those in power. Not because they are stupid or lazy but because they are numb. They are like sheep that jostle about from day to day, work hard for the man, then retire and wonder what the hell was life all about. Some have enough courage to wonder what they are doing and make huge changes. They question our mere existence and question all authority and realize that through a certain amount of effort there are places left to escape to. They are the ones who think outside the box. Is it easy? no way. I played the game in the big city for 58 years. Questioned everything. Always looking for someone to hear what I had to say and hoping that they were on board with my ideas. Such people are few. Lucky for me my spouse was listening. We left the big city and moved to the coast in a rural area, living partially off grid. Learning so much more about ourselves, each other and a new way of living. Thinking outside the box on ways to survive well and finding many more like minded folks here than anywhere else. Non-conformists are wise. Keep on being you..God bless you

Thank you for the encouraging words. There are plenty of people stuck in the system, not of their will, but of necessity. I’m not fully un-entangled from the grind myself. But I continue to grow more independent every day. I’m glad you found a path where you feel connected. Blessings!
