I get that life is safer, cleaner, and more comfortable for almost everyone on earth.
But, I wish I could decide to spend a few months not working and living in the mountains or jungle without any serious work or financial repercussions.
My wife and I are at a place where we have a long term plan to save and buy land away from the city.
I can’t wait until I’m out in the country side and and can go outside to nature rather than concrete.
this part sadly only works, if you've already worked your ass off beforehand.
That's kind of the point, though. The fact that you can't just...live in the world without participating in a destructive and exploitative economic system first is disgusting and immeasurably immoral and unethical.
