    Unfortunately that's not the case.

    No kids, no car, no fancy technology like internet phones.

    I don't know. I've wondered that too.

    I agree. More healthier in my opinion too. I think just as importantly as knowing what you want in life, its much more important to know exactly how you don't want to live. And take steps (sometimes drastic steps) to avoid that lifestyle.

    Getting together with my best, oldest friend, watching the sound of music, Rudolph the red nose reindeer, the grinch who stole Christmas cartoon with her, singing all the songs in those shows. I can’t sing at all, but it is a good laugh and great to share that with her.

    Moments in life are better when it is shared.

    >actually being able to live by myself, believe it or not,

    >and public transportation, such as it is, to get around on.

    >feral cats and other creatures, surviving and even thriving, despite how humans have shortsightedly screwed up their environment and our own.

    >everyone who sees past what someone else tells them to pretend, whether its politics or religion or anything else.

    >that however much you can move or blow up a rock, or chop down a tree, you can't stop rocks form being rocks, or trees from being trees.

    >that the only thing you can change by being dishonest about it is how people deal with each other, and not anything to do with the vast majority of reality that is beyond anything to do with them.

    >that there is an unknown that is unknown, that it is neither empty, nor indebted to beliefs people think they understand because they can say names for them.

    >that we live in a universe that is as much about everything else that exists in it, which close enough to infinite, as it has anything to do with, our being able to exist in it.

    >that we don't have to give up everything we enjoy to avoid destroying what our existence depends upon because we can generate all the electricity we need without having to burn anything.

    >that we have invented tools and ways of building and making things

    >that i can make models and pictures of them inside the computer, of things that lack of resources prevent me from building in real life

    >that however bad almost everything can sometimes be, there is always something somewhere, often something otherwise overlooked, that brings some small glimmer of aesthetic pleasure.

    >and that most of the time, most things, somehow manage, to not be that bad

    When living in Ballarat you need an air conditioner in the warmer months.
