This isn't a meme

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why is this posted to memes? This sounds like a good way to live life. Stop chasing that next big promotion, or whatever status symbol you think will make you successful.

Just live and try do what makes you happy.

You can be successful in helping others and live one of the most fulfilling lives without needing to be rich*

*Disclaimer: This tends to be a lot more difficult when you're born poor. If this is the case, try finding someone who isn't, who is trying to live a fulfilling life.

Problem is I was born in a place and time where I need to do in order to be.

Are western cultures not indigenous?

Or is this just more US defaultism?

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Defaultism by default. It could also be the land of the upside-down, Canada, or anywhere else in the American continents.

Also Nature: relentless, uncaring, powerful, unpredictable, and disastrous.

Holy shit does this instance have a mod? What a fucking shit show over such a positive picture.

Happy indigenous people day.

I already banned people in this thread, but I didn't remove the comments as they were part of a discussion that was at least in part not total trolling.

Being alive for the sake of being alive doesn't do much to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates. Those are down from pre-industrial levels because incredibly smart people have worked incredibly hard over the last few hundred years.

Yeah, I'm inclined to generally agree with this; what she left out is that now most people can live past 30 now and not die from a bacterial infection after scraping their leg.

I would add that the ideal is likely somewhere in the middle between the extremes of "living off the land and using every part of the bison" and "grinding away your soul until you collapse on the Walmart floor." Both are too far towards their respective ends of the spectrum.

I'm alive for a purpose. That purpose is to play Red Alert 2

With Yuris Revenge expansion. Mental Omega isn't half bad either.

So like, is there some place I can go too live like that? One that isn't private property or owned by the government, etc? I live in a place that is mostly open, mountainous areas, but they're surrounded by barbed wire and 2nd Degree Tresspassing is a felony.

Still trying to work out if being White British means I have a natural mystical connection to the land and spirituality.
