Exactamundo

Not so long ago I wrote about my instinct to avoid the rat-race as a life strategy for avoidance of the worst of the stresses that our modern industrial western way of life insists upon us as "normal". 

I often read Charles Hugh Smith's Of Two Minds blog - one of the reasons why I don't write profusely is because I need to avoid as much as is possible feeling overwhelmed that he speaks of in the following link, and, simply because others such as he can hit the nail on the head much more eloquently than can I:

"But what if our state of being overwhelmed is the causal consequence of living in our consumerist-State system? What if the system itself is nothing but an overlay of sociopathologies?

The tragic irony of this is that we are all so overwhelmed by daily life in this system that we lack the mental and emotional strength to analyze its sociopathologies."
