RE: Self-reliance

in Outdoors and more3 years ago

It's so easy to go to the shop for something. I mean, I'm literally eating sliced avocado and poached eggs on home made rye bread right now...None of which I made myself. Not that I can't make it myself, it's just easier to have someone else do it...And that's society through and through. I live in a land of abundance where everything comes easy, we just have to pay for it. 120 years ago that wasn't the case...Or maybe it was, just that what people wanted was much less than we do now.

Anyway, garlic stuffed olives...I love those little bastards! Hang on, that's not what I meant to say I meant...

Anyway, I value self-reliance and having skills that allow me to be self-reliant, the attitude to want to be makes me happy and confident. Not arrogant mind, confident. There's a difference.

It's like your navigate underwater thing. Many are like...Want to go diving - Go diving - Rely on someone else for the details. It's the same with anything really...Some just want to do the thing and not understand it, others want to delve a little deeper, gain some skills. Navigate using compass and topo map? Why the fuck would I want to know how to do that? Learn first aid? Why the fuck? We have ambulance officers and first-responders.

Society is it's own worst enemy. The just google is ethos.

Good in the dark huh? Lol.

Good comment Dan.

Yes'ir. A lotta fools wear them digital compasses down. No thanks!

that's not what I meant to say I meant...

LoL "see?"

Haha, yeah...Those idiot-watches that tell people when to breathe, what their platelet count is, how acidic their urine is and how much electricity their brain creates...Here's the big tip: Not much if you rely on that watch ya fucking dum dum. Smart watches, essential for all dumb people.

Can you see I'm not a fan. Get ye a Casio Rangeman...You'll thank me people.

Hardly even noticed.

Best to call it how it is I guess.
