On a return trip home (wherever that is) we experience nostalgia for ‘dominating’, tempered by the belief that fun is bad. As of course so much of it IS bad because it’s based on things we do which cause damage. But not all fun is bad. Take for instance the ‘sheer enjoyment factor’, then imagine it without the exploitative element in it. Imagine us using resources sustain ably and sensitively?
It’s always the same when you come home from a holiday; our big ideas fade fast and we go back to what we were. We might have come home from a long interplanetary journey or just come back from work at the end of the day. We do things, take initiatives, cook dinner, habits take over.
Is it possible for our evening to be free of any element of damage, or any damage to be kept consciously to the absolute minimum? The goal here is surely to satisfy our need for sheer enjoyment whilst adopting a no-damage policy towards things, animals, people and even ideas.
