Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Soil degradation. Someone please tell me what’s going on, and cue Marvin Gaye. Two things that I’ve noticed for the past several years is that our society has become so fixated on what they’re expecting to reap instead of the foundation. What’s even more concerning is that very few are examining if their human core is rotten, yet miraculously expecting an abundance of fruitful outcomes. From those two noted observations my claim is that there are some deep-rooted unresolved issues that have corroded personal identities. When our identity is off kilter then we no longer assess the season that is most profitable to sow in, and we don’t even take into consideration what we’re sowing. It baffles me when I see people disgruntled and blaming others for their poor choices that have lead to their own demise and depletion. At this point my question is why as humans have we been so conditioned to have this YOLO mentality to only then spoil the harvest? Let us remember that before the initial stages of peaking, there must be impact at the core, then blossoming can occur.
