After survival comes dwelling in luxury

And we dwell in luxury, though in the meantime we have lost grip on survival. We highly, more than ever, depend on ‘others’. It is the first time in history we do not have grandparents who have straight access to soil where food grows on. Grandparents in the countryside always had a garden they grow their own food. City grandparents had a straight connection with a countryside farmer, supplying food. We lost this connection. We depend on the supermarket, the supermarket depends on suppliers. To be able to pick food in the supermarket, we need money, lots of money. Our distance to food is greater than ever.
Survival also means having a ‘home’, a roof above our heads. We don’t have one, the bank has. And if we don’t pay we are kicked out. Basically without a fultime well payed job we are homeless and hungry. And the price of homes became the amount a bank would lend a young family working 100 hours a week, not the value of resources and construction.
Both a natural phenomenon our own nature is responsible for, to acknowledge and to come with a more sustainable, better alternative.
