We spend too much time indoors, sitting or laying down,
breathing indoor air, getting little or no exercise.
At Christmas, I could enlist no one to take a walk after
dinner. That is, after engorgement on
copious amounts of food, much of it sweet or otherwise not good for us. Could get no one to take a walk in 30s degree
weather with no wind. I walked the
trails and never met another person. My son, 20, said, “Are you crazy, dad?
It’s December.”
If we are that appallingly weak, we have no
chance to maintain this “system” or this “empire.” Events—Nature or a stronger culture—will eat
us like a lion eating kittens.
