Meticulousness can keep you dry. Not meant to be contrary to your statement but adjunct to it. If only it were not preceded or succeeded by speculation. We are rife with possibility.
I don't know. Yes, we are animals, but we shouldn't live and behave following our most primar feelings.
Shouldn't we? Maybe because we don't, we have all that problems? Wouldn't life as an animal be simplier?
Of course life as the average animal is more simple. We can't live like animals because we are not that simple. But we can live simpler than this for sure.
simplicity is relative. but we do not need fur, feathers, or cold blood to live simply. its really just a mental state. do you really need to work so hard everyday, to waste your money on something that (in my opinion) isn't worth what you've worked for it?
It is an interesting question: Just what do you really need in order to live? And how hard is it to acquire that for yourself?
