RE: Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | No Cash
oh, I see what you mean. I think I misunderstood the subject. I thought about it in general as 'money' instead of an actual 'no cash' transactions.
Many will be jobless if we plunder nature to be creative instead of buying all the trash sold.
by trash, I assume you mean mass-produced products? While I agree that opting to be creative by being resourceful could result to unemployment, don't you think that these same products also plunder nature - and on a much larger scale?
I understand that only few people appreciate DIY gifts these days (thanks to capitalism) but I guess it all boils down to personal preference and convenience. If you like giving diy gifts, then do so, but if you find it inconvenient, then by all means, follow your heart and just purchased some.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, it’s really unfortunate that we’d rather buy creativity than make it ourselves.
You know schools here say that if a child has a birthday (or teacher) and the like to celebrate it's not allowed to give candies or unhealthy treats.
So I baked rolls, also in the shape of letters and I noticed as my eldest was still going to pre school (3 years old) children were happy with it but everything changed about 10 years later. Spoiled children and all they wanted is candy and presents, the more the better and bought of course.
Can be today they would like it again since 6 out of 10 children if not more by now go to school without a meal and have no lunch either and receiving a gift these days is rare. Everyone is out of money (and time to make one). Let's see what December 5th will bring us and if "present gifts" are made.
Which reminds me that I should write some poems.
