A new verb has just been created! “But it’s not convenient.”This is the most common Western objection to living a green lifestyle. It is all about convenience. We have been programmed to think about convenience first.
And when we have convenienced our way through the day – are we happy? We have more conveniences now than ever in the history of mankind, and yet we are less happy, more stressed, more depressed.
Go to a “convenience store” and ask yourself if this experience is uplifting, enlivening.
At some stage we will tire of convenience, and its inability to speak to our hearts, and we will embrace a way of life that uses different words to define meaning in a day, and meaning in a lifetime.
Make that stage and time in your life today! Become aware of convenience for Mother Nature, and make that your convenience focus.
