We ... need enkrateia, “self- restraint,” voluntary self- limitation in our consumption of food and natural resources. This means in the first instance that we each strive to make a distinction between what I want and what I need. Only through self- denial, through fasting, through the willingness to forgo and to say “no” will we rediscover our true place in the universe. Greed and avarice render the world opaque, turning all things to dust and ashes; generosity and unselfishness render the world transparent, turning all things into a sacrament of communion with one another and with God.

Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia, "Through Creation to the Creator"

People who love material wealth do things like this and destroy themselves... Sad

In the past year, I've seen about a dozen negroes, 2 Hispanics, and one large Indian family that I saw in three occasions.

Once, they were begging inside a Walmart. Later that day, they were hitchhiking at the Walmart's intersection. A few days later, they were bathing in a river. Haven't seen them in almost a year now; I'm not sure if they were tourists or another set of homeless people eaten by the wildlife or the locals. Hard to tell

Uh oh

Every bubble eventually pops... But now just doesn't feel like the time for some reason. Can't put my finger on it
