> There are a handful of simple things that human beings require for adequate mental health or "chemical balance", and yet there are massive societal pressures and trillions of dollars being spent sabotaging those basic human needs. This is the crux of it for me. I know all I really need are the simple things yet the world does its best to stop me from having them, and pollutes my mind with materialism, and meanwhile the prevailing culture is going to shit. Edit: I promise myself though that one day I'll end up living on that mountain with pure air, nature, peace and quiet, and a bit of solitude :)
