bound to be messy until we determine what that redistribution looks like it also demands that we take more responsibility for ourselves which involves decoupling our worship of others based solely on their status and wealth instead valuing substance and genuine contributions going into nature provides us with moments of presence Beauty and connectedness that helps give us a glimpse into what could be if we remove ourselves from the hamster wheels we find ourselves on wealth and money provides stability and choices that can significantly enhance our quality of life however they do not Define a life
