As one of my favorite singers once said in a great song:
I don't wanna change the world; I don't want the world to change me.
— Ozzy Osbourne
I have no interest in changing the world. It would probably be a futile effort, in any case.
The things I write here are not for everyone. These words are for those few people thinking about changing... thinking about living a simpler life. Hopefully I can help point these folks in the right direction.
I don't expect mass movements based on anything I say, do, or write. America at large won't stop her gluttonous ways because I wish it... It just won't happen.
I'm okay with that. See, I don't want to change the world.
More importantly, I don't want the world to change me.
Sure, I don't fit in with the majority. I don't spend to excess. I don't have 3.2 SUV's, 11 kids, and a boat. I don't want any of that. Instead, I'm content to live my life the way I want. Not with too much, because it's the norm. Nor with too little, because it's trendy. I'll stick with just right.
