Thoughtful essay, Perry. Greed truly is a disease that permeates much of human society. I think this is why some of us seek out those small moments of connection to Nature. Those connections and encounters remind us that there is more here than hustling for money and trading time for profit.

I used to believe that many of the problems in society resulted from the 3 poisons of greed, anger, and delusion as described in Buddhist literature. But now, I think the source of the problem is simply delusion. Delusion of what is real and what is important in life.

Perfect gift for the season of giving! This land is our land and no Fascist army, stock exchange, false prophet, Svengali, billionaire(s), anarchist "president", corrupt government, foreign actor, or false flag event can take it away from us. HAVE A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY AND NEW YEAR! Gregg
