Today was the first day I have had to myself in a while. I did some writing, some reading. I had a little cry about the people who have died recently. I went on some walks, I saw my Mum. Last night Qigong was great, we were talking about the disaster that is western society. One guy pays 320 an hour just to run his business and is lucky to clear 100 dollars an hour if he is lucky. I was talking about another friend who has high overheads. All I hear is mostly disheartening complaints, struggles etc. We were watching some videos of a German female politician outlining the ways western culture is being torn apart by unbridled corporate culture. I feel lucky these days though, I don’t need to go to the major supermarkets and get ripped off as much. I have found alternatives. Things could be worse and are they are headed that way but I am getting by.
