Another Rant

Call this creative or just far-fuckin-fetched, but...

[Is it just me, or do you see everyone who is living in a globalized part of the world actually having a poorer quality life, then those who are blind to many of the worlds great "blessings" known as technology? See in my opinion, anybody living in this North/South American culture, Scandanavian, European, and Asian countries, are blinded by greed. Our lives are bent towards making money, because really, we can't survive without it right? We want more and more money to fuel our wants and needs. We need money to eat, drive, send our children away to school... And half the time, the meal you just ate sucked, you got stuck in traffic, and your kid just dropped out and became a failure in your eyes. Meanwhile, if people didn't need money, they'd be happy with what they ate. They wouldn't NEED a vehicle, and they would love their child for who he or she is. The stresses associated with living this lifestyle are absolutely astronomical. Mankind was not meant to live, working for another person so he or she can live. We weren't meant to sit in cubicles all day and be driven by greed or technology...

Now then... let's examine the life of those who aren't influenced by globalization. Take a native tribe for example, living deep in the rainforest or jungle of some far off island *insert native jungle tribe name here* (yes, they still exist.) These people live an almost stress free life. Now before you turn off your computers and call me crazy, let me explain.

These people have had little or no connection with the outside world. They live life the way God intended them to. They build their own shelters, hunt their own food, teach themselves how to survive through building strong family ties. They aren't brought up to believe that money is the only thing that can bring success and happiness. They live stress free because they aren't forced to go to school, get a good job, have an attractive wife and nice house. They don't have to worry about survival, they are brought up to hunt and cook their own food. Sure, their will be medical issues. But really, don't we have enough of our own that cause stress? Shortage of doctors, disease-causing products, murder and violence etc. If a natural disaster occurs, they have the skills to rebuild. Who here really knows how to rebuild their home besides architects, contractors and construction workers? These people live life the way it was meant to be lived, ever since the first caveman bonked a woolley mammoth over the head with a mallot and threw it on to the fire.

I wish I could live a life free of these pressures.]
