Yeah rah rah. There are so many delightfully complex systems that guide
us and it's so hard to tell the addiction from what needs to happen that I
just do my best and trust that everything will be taken care of. I use
will power when I can tell that I am addicted and that I'm acting out a
pattern that isn't spontaneous or free. It's all pretty much a toss up
depending on the perspective angle and distance.
I agonize over any plastics purchase, but haven't been willing to give up
face lotion that doesn't come bulk. I hate bleach because of dioxin
poisoning, but use it once or twice a year on my cloth shower curtains to
remove mold. (It's bleach or new curtains. I've tried soaking, scrubbing
citrus stuff and bleach is the only thing that does it.)
I just have to trust that if everyone were a little more conscious, the
earth could probably handle our ways. Heaven forbid everyone should think
like me or act like me. If everyone ate what I ate, they probably
wouldn't get what they need. What I've tried to figure out is how to help
anyone want to be a little more conscious. How can we teach children to
be more conscious so they learn what helps them rather than learn to
follow prescribed behavior based on what someone else needs?
Great thread, folks.
