I do feel like quality feels unattainable in all systems. It seems like the heart of capitalism itself is outsourcing resources to others when you have entered a certain level of marketing royalty, so that you can then enjoy the spoils of your bounty and live in leisure. It seems the inevitable consequence that there will be a loser, or perceived loser but the suspected winner, yet working class lore idolizes the work. It then becomes about living a certain lifestyle. Have you watched My Brilliant Friend or read the Elena Ferrante books? I’ve been thinking of this question often lately, for that reason. The interplay between classes and the ability raise or stay at your station and the guilt associated with that. The intellectuals support of communism vs. the workers forced into it by a life of struggle. It sometimes feels like if one is idealistic and true, one must revel in the labor, but you truly does? Are we all just pushed into hypocrisy as we age?

There's no doubt in my mind that you will find a way to make peace with all of this. That you will find the balance in making money with your philosophy of worlds end. I've read this blog for years, so I'm pretty sure about that.<br />I struggle with capitalism, money, the idea of spending money to make money, compromises, the decisions I make daily that I know are no good for this Earth and that are not helping me really, but just fuel greed and line someone else's pockets. I live on an island full of tourists and work in a gift shop where we ship in massive amounts of mass produced crap from China. I leave everyday wondering if my $14 an hour is worth it in the long run. Knowing full well that someone else's big decision is how he's going to get a historic bridge disassembled for his yacht to pass under.<br />Like you, but on a much smaller scale, I'm making changes towards a gentler life where even if compromises have to be made, they are done thoughtfully and hopefully they will vibrate out to lots of good and sustainable outcomes. People are afraid of radical change, it always seems out of the norm. I know you'll reach the right people and they'll share and participate and so on and so on. That's how it all starts, yes? And everything you're thinking and worrying about now will seem like a gentle breeze, not the hurricane it does now.Sarah Pnoreply@blogger.com
