What my broken boiler taught me

There is nothing like a broken boiler to remind you how entitled delusional self centred and privileged human being you are.
Within the comfort of the home, the thin layer of the civilisation bubble, I have the impression that nothing can collapse: the water will remain warm, the water will remain clean, fridges and pantry are full of food and my bank account still in overdraft.
I am still producing and consuming what nature provides.
Oh yes, I am separated from nature. Do you know I am inside the home, not roaming the streets or the woods like an animal... sleeping in the ground like a vegetable.
I am also pretty clever too, I have university education from some human institutions, no squirrel nut diploma, I studied in england, an island where there is a queen...
I work as well.
I participate in the progress machine for a better future for all humans beings.
I thought i'd help animals too but I have been told they are already dying. So the focus is on humans, not the planet because it has to make economic sense and we still need our comfort and beliefs in human civilisation.
I am being told that humans are envisioning the future, or futures for all humans. All the future stories are linked to the myth of progress and are full of unattainable goals to keep us producing and consuming. The truth is that you'd be dead or the ecosystem that support your lives destroyed regardless of the progress that'll be made...
So carry on living in the dream or reality. The end is near.
The broken never can be repaired.

It appears your level of tolerance is far higher than them. You just feel things are going to get together eventually or maybe you are in denial, who knows. You may be choosing to ignore critical issues to protect yourself. And so, here is the question to answer - What are you choosing to ignore? list 20 things Once you have answered those questions, rank them in order of importance.

Refused to jump on the horseback

I spent the weekend with a good friend of mine. She introduced me to her community of church goers. I was impressed by how committed and big this community is. They try to lift each other through the spoken words of the bible. As I entered the community, I created curiosity, interest as much as opportunity. Questions followed: ''Are you going to Church'' Which church are you going to'' ''Are you a Christian'' Do you believe in God''  Then I answered it: No, No, No, Yes They reacted - looking down, disappointed, sad of my misfortune: ''if you don't follow jump in, you will probably go to hell when you die''. I thought: I don't know the horse, neither who tamed it. I ain't jumping on his back... hell and heaven can be created on earth... for what happen after death I am not sure.
