     Reading books, living without the internet and limited viewing of the TV still exists even within our modern fast paced society. With the fear of global warming and corrupted food supplies, some people are wisely spending their time researching and living on the free range meat and none chemicals used to grow fruits and vegetables.
Having limited technical knowledge of gadgets, and being savvy starved is not necessarily an unacceptable condition. Lack of interest in computers or CD’s, DVD’s will not cause any outstanding bodily harm. Owning only three items is based on necessity for normal everyday existence, the cell phone, TV without cable, and a VCR.
Reading books, living without the internet and limited viewing of the TV still exists even within our modern fast paced society. With the fear of global warming and corrupted food supplies, some people are wisely spending their time researching and living on the free range meat and none chemicals used to grow fruits and vegetables. The cost or byproduct of this system allows limited expenses on the modern luxury of material items.
Gadgets become obsolete, but life with proper healthy living by consuming safe nutritious food is an achievable goal. This form of consumption will extend the human process. So living in a Cocoon can’t be all that bad, but not living in the mainstream, you become a target as being an outcast or an enigma. Few people accept this reality of what the future has in store for humanity and of our so called free society.
Organic and hormones are the two opposing elements. One is controlled and the other leads into the old standby known as greed. Within that falls the ever increasing debate about global warming. Is it real or is it greed? This leaves you with the real question, who is living in the genuine cocoon? Will the world be the ultimate judge and executioner? Are you willing to follow what is made easy or make changes that might not be in step but in the long run save what is the future?
Do accomplishment of society move life forward or do the CEO’s of the world measure existence. If so, what part are you willing to play or plan for the future of the upcoming generations? The question is easy, but the steps are a giant step for mankind.
The debate about global warming is it real or is it greed?
