I realized that all the work of contraction and sustainability that we are doing at home I wrote a little-nothing, so I start to fix ..
The end of the new year was marked by a deepening of reflection on the subject, bring a little 'speech from the "cruelty-free" I try to stick for several years, a bit 'by the arrival of the turtles that compels them to further and more detailed investigations (bringing out every flaw and contradiction), a little' getting stronger by the need to live more freely, following the own pace, slowly, enjoying life, without going to live to work, leaving us free to really live only 4-5 weeks a year in which there are holidays. Specifically
of this issue, the question is born more arrogance, as mentioned, since the turtle has arrived: the wonder that could mean giving birth to a child and then grow it from others (teachers or grandparents) made me reflect on the lives of families here and now, and I found myself not at all share the majority of family practice, especially in the presence of bimbini so small. I find it unnatural that a woman can be forced to return to work the third month of life "outside" of the child, who can not choose for themselves and when they return to work, which most parents are at work from morning to night and see their children in the best cases in the evening or on weekends. All this adds up to the fact that grandparents have to do in my grandparents and baby-sitter, baby sitters who do not know personally I do not trust to leave my son with a / an unknown / a, which transfers do not know the nests local (municipal and there are not any) for which also I do not trust. And then: but what is the point that I go to work to pay someone to look at my son? I do not do before - and better - to look at him from me?
In return of course raises the question of economics: you can now live with one salary? Or half a paycheck? Or without pay? How much of the money they "earn" (because if we work from our employees used to work economically enrich someone other than us, often) is really necessary? And how it still makes sense for us to nowadays "gggiovani" work again for a pension, which presumably will not have?
And at this point part prompted reflection on the need and capacity lost .. because if I can discriminate well what are things really necessary and June to produce its own parallel as possible culturally enrich myself, I regained my ability because I left the system of choice, live a healthier life and more sustainable for the planet and I have less need of money.
Until recently, however, could not find concrete in these thoughts, that I could not find a way to change the modus vivendi in practice. Then he helped me a lot reading the book Erbaviola "City Slickers" and I realized that I was the mistake that many do, that is the end. It seems trite but true. One would imagine: fire me, I'm going to stay in cottage Tuscany and I produce everything, but it is something quite unthinkable for most people, let's face it, especially if you have children and you have no money aside. The truth is that one must start somewhere else, by reducing: waste, induced needs, sophistication. It seems much more complicated as it actually is, in fact when you start to self-produce everything is a bit 'self: what you thought heavy and demanding turns out to be fun, interesting, educational (to themselves and their children) and rewarding, it is also more critical of purchases (both with respect to quality and quantity). And you begin to discover that this is probably the work that "noble man", not work in a factory or office 40 hours a week. But what is most important, it is free, but free for real, because it is free in the head.
