Under construction....
This blog is the beginning of the end...the end of our dependence on over consumption, of thoughtless materialism , of loss of personal identity. An alternative view is the quest. Not for me to dictate my own views but simply to guide, to nudge forward, to suggest another way. A revolution of free thinking for oneself, a rejection of dogma, cant and hypocritical self belief.
The original title was the "anti-consumerist society" suggested by the late John Finch Craig who spent much of his life as a city hermit in Park Circus Lane, Glasgow, living in derelict stables much as the ancient anchorites from times past.The use of the word "anti" is negative and I have coined a new phrase "treading lightly", which more accurately describes my own mission statement. I am not against materialism and consumerism per se, but would suggest we must ration our resources carefully,and in the words of Mahatma Gandi, "There is sufficiency in the world for man`s need but not for man`s greed".
To be continued...
