Sigh. I know this will sound odd, but I look around me every single day, and think:
“This is all going to go away.”
The hot water coming out of the shower head.
The weekend drives in the car to remote destinations.
The security of a locked door.
The supermarket shelves full of produce and products.
A fridge full of food and ice.
The Internet.
Toilet paper.
Aspirin.
The rule of law.
A job.
Soap.
A paycheck.
Gasoline.
Heating.
Air conditioning.
Fresh potable water from the tap.
Pets.
Deoderant.
Elaborate dinners.
Security.
And much more. Every time now, when I walk into a grocery store and see stuff packed floor to ceiling, I think: “It is all going to go away.”
Every time I turn on the shower, I think of what a miracle it is, and how much I will desperately miss that, because I enjoy it so much.
I hate feeling this way. I hate it because it didn’t have to turn out this way. And I have felt that way for a few years now.
I know how you feel. It is why I’m really focusing on solar and wind power where I live. And regarding transportation, I’m an avid bicyclist and we even have a “hybrid” tandem. And with solar/wind, you can use electric vehicles.
It doesn’t solve everything, but what you are describing is literally a world of Mad Max or Book of Eli. If it gets that bad it means we are looking at the fulfillment of biblical prophesy. And that is a very good thing - in the end.
I can't tell you how often I do that very thing. TP is something I expect I will miss a lot.
