Good. We Americans need to learn the lesson that, in fact, we are not, have never been, and cannot be individualists. We are dependent on our neighbors: personally, nationally, and internationally.

We also need to learn that we cannot sustain ourselves by constantly taking: taking from each other, taking from nature, and taking from the future generations. We have become a nation of consumers, not citizens, and that is morally wrong. We expect to take with no consequences, and that’s just not how Earth works.

Thank you!!

Ha, I got really self-conscious and self-aware about how boring I am being, just staring at my screen.

This was a fascinating read! I am obsessed with both history and perfume. Thank you!
