Humoring my imagination...
In time I believe luxury will be measured in how much nature a person has access to. Perhaps we will all be moved into condo/apartment type buildings in congested cities (maybe that’s what China’s Ghost Cities are for!), and the privileged shall live in the countryside. They shall have ample access to mother nature ensuring well being and replenishment of chakral energy.
I sometimes wonder if that’s where we’re headed.
People are beginning to realize that well-being is the greatest wealth. That there is something wholesome and irreplaceable about nature, the way it nurtures and heals us. There is a connection, and an awakened society I think, means appreciation and realization of how priceless natural resources are. Nothing compares to drinking pure glacial water from a stream or eating an apple off the tree.
I love the ocean but often find myself longing for the mountains. Perhaps it's some innate need for different energy flow. I consider the ocean ebbing and always flowing, helping with or bringing about change. The mountains, strong foundations that guide and support offering stability.
So maybe soon wealth will be measured in terms of “How often are you able to enjoy nature??”, “You’re so lucky you have a lake close-by!”, camp outs, summer cottages, and winter cabins. While the rest live in concrete jungles.
I have wild imagination.
I also watched the Hunger Games last night, so…yeah.
