I went on an epic walk yesterday, four hours in total, covering 12.5 miles and almost 26,000 steps (I take metre long strides, so for most we’re easily talking over 30,000 steps).
It was from my village to the first village I ever lived in, I’d wanted to do this walk for a long time, mission accomplished.
On the edge of the village, there is a showroom, shop and café of a famous, now deceased, cutlery designer called David Mellor, his son is now running the show.
As I was paying for my coffee and brownie, I perchance saw a sign saying they were no longer accepting cash payments because of ‘charges’. What bollocks I thought. I won’t be shopping there again.
There are times that you need to cut off options because the freedom you sacrifice for ‘convenience’ are too great for the soul to endure.
Most do not think of the consequences, the implications of following the herd, of doing what they’re told.
Understand transaction, understand freedom.
