Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past.

Many people in this modern day and time is not familiar with this drink so let me give you a little information about this gift from the universe. One day I was going through some books on my audible account, and figured I wanted to try something new. So I stumbled on this book called the "Carnivores Dilemma" an excellent listen. Now to be truthful if I had to sit down and read the book more than likely it would not have happened, But thank God for modern technology. I downloaded the book and listened to a story about a Man that asked a simple question "Where do our food comes from",  and in answering the question he discovered and shared some shocking insights about the food we consume. The major point that brings us to the reason that I am writing this blog, is that he decided to create a meal f...
