My over self indulgence through the years has almost completely taken its course. At least I think It has. After 15 years of smoking drinking and stupidity stemming from Saturday nights I think i can see the light.

I am reading David Suzuki's 'The Sacred Balance' revisited and updated.
What a spectacular read. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending how you look at it, it has begun to open my eyes as a late 20 something adult.

I/We have the power to do anything. So why do we choose to sit in the dark and self indulge? Eating fast food while we hand our children the toy made from plastics and lead infused paint products, Imported from a land we have never seen. So disconnected we have become from the Real. Production, industrialism, consumption on a massive scale has already changed our world beyond any of us could imagine. So we push farther and faster into the future. Nobody really understanding that we are NOT in control of anything.

I am tradesmen, I am not sure how i will begin my journey to help eliminate my human footprint on the planet but i hope it will be in a way that i can become part of something much greater than my self. A solution.

Self indulgence is the thing we do when we are consciously or unconsciously filling a need in ourselves to not be default. We need something to consume to fill the spot that for some of us screams louder. But what happens if the scream for self indulgence is met with an even louder yell from within? The scream That tells us to become greater, to become part of something much more important then all the self fulfilling satisfaction that comes from consuming our object of choice.
