Conveience is overrated and it fosters short-sightedness.

Don't be caugt up in the whizz-bang of energy dependency. In a power generation crisis situation the trivial stuff will be lost.

Texting links to TikTok of some cat jumping into a bird feeder isn't gonna survive. Sending your grandparents a snail-mail letter describing what you're doing just might.

When you have less life left in front of you, making a mark or leaving a mark on the world behind you takes on a different hue. EVERYONE - even you, will get to that point.

It's basic human nature.
