We have enough effort. The required effort is a small fraction of our total reserves of effort. what we need is to re-align our priorities. For example, I think our entire research industry should focus on one project at a time. Everyone should make an effort to contribute, no matter the field. I think this would enable some EXCELLENT co-ordi-operat-ion. I also believe that our neighborhoods should self-support each other. "For example, did you know that we have a daily delivery service where so-and-so drives to the grocery store, picks up everyone's orders, and then delivers to your front door? No, you don't have to pay for it. We don't really do that anymore. Well, you can buy things wherever if you want, but that's not how it's done around here." sorta vibes. what is money? money is the product of peacetime. Money is fake!

But i lay no claim to it, it's not mine or my own. Still, i love it, so i advocate for it when i can. It feels wrong that you so ardently argue for its destruction when you haven't taken any time to get to know it. You hide from it and refuse to trust that its possible to enjoy it. Do you ever just sit around in it? The summer is perfect weather for shade gazing. Also, The fact that you've weaponized your emotions against me to get what you want kinda hurts because i have made no attempt to claim it as my property that i control and wield. It feels like manipulation. Like you wanted to fight me, wanted to hurt me, and the yard is just how it gets done. Every time we have ever talked about it, I've argued my point friendly and tried to problem solve. All I've received is spite and shutdown in return, and i am perplexed as to how i could be better. It feels like you don't respect me, or treat me as an equal, and that any concerns i have are just creating drama. But my feelings are constantly hurt, when all I've done is try to be kind to you. I wonder if it's because you're paying to be here, both with labor and dollars, and i am housed without a home? I love it here. I am loved here. Why could it not be home? I want to show you all that yards can be, especially since we have two of them and can use them for different purposes. I closed the blinds in my room so that you can hang out back there without worrying about being seen. I'd only notice if i walked out the screen door. Again, problem solving.
