The last day of the year is here already. How weirdly fast yet slow the year slipped by. Sitting behind the computer every day working. Getting used to not being with people or extended family physically. Spending much more time with direct family. Caring much better for the dogs. Reading more and listening to interesting podcasts. Maybe the year has not gone all to waste. I do not think so. Every day is another Miracle.
Waste is a "modern human" phenomenon in the world. Humans are not efficient anymore with the finite resources entrusted to them. With simple behavioral adjustments we could relearn what we have forgotten and do much better. Overproduction caused by non quality and over consumption are at root of Waste. There are more categories of Waste but overproduction is the main one..
Preaching and criticizing; two things i want to eliminate and stop doing. Seems that preaching and criticizing have zero effect and are therefore Waste. Personal acceptance and serenity will be essential for this to happen. And how to help such that the Ways of Less and zero Waste are transferred to mankind on this little island; that is the new mission.
Finding myself reading the book Essentialism by Greg Mckeown and liking it. I hope it does not provide me with new material to criticize and preach with. But instead show me the way of less wasteful ways to make the world a better place.
Sailing onwards through life... forwards... Kaizen, the better way, observing what happens outside and inside an trying out new and hopefully better ways.
Much beauty abound. Just have to remember to also look away from the screen often enough to see it.
