If You Don’t Know the Answers to These Questions, You Need to Work on Your Prepper Mindset
If You Don’t Know the Answers to These Questions, You Need to Work on Your Prepper Mindset
Do you know yourself? It is a fair question. Survivalist and prepper, yes, but do you reallyknow yourself? One of the problems that we face in life is that we find our identity, the “who we are” within our interests…of what we do. If a guy works with electrical outlets and wiring buildings, then he is an electrician and calls himself as such. Akin to the zombies in George Romero’s movie, “Night of the Living Dead,” we plod through life and live and die within our professions, perhaps changing from one profession to another, but always self-identifying with what we do: a utilitarian identity.
But who are we? Do we know ourselves?
Perhaps this is confusing; however, rather than leave you with the question to sort out, let’s place some feedback and framework into it. Let’s answer a question by asking ourselves more questions. YOU SHOULD WRITE THESE DOWN ON PAPER, to review. Let’s do it!

A Kept Culture | Two Ice Floes.
My thinking on a variety of subjects has changed over time and I expect my understanding will continue to evolve as new information, knowledge and propaganda enters my orbit.

While the mistreatment is most often handed down on an individual basis, “We the Abused” outnumber the abusers by at least 10 to 1. And I count among that ‘1’ all those who enable, support and carry out the abuse. So why do we tolerate something we can clearly stop if we so wish?
Earlier on in my ongoing awakening, a never ending process of self reflection and discovery, I would sometimes use the derogatory term ‘sheeple’ to describe both a people and a condition. I was grasping for a simple all encompassing answer to a complex problem, and believing that the vast masses were blissfully ignorant while passively grazing upon an array of consumer goods satisfied my need to understand what to me at the time was incomprehensible.
This is not to say some are not exactly as described. In fact at one point in my life I fit the bill perfectly, totally consumed in my naval gazing and mostly oblivious to not only my own lot in life, but those around me. As a single parent raising my boy alone for seventeen years, I was righteously indignant if anyone dared to question my focus. After all, I was doing it for the child(ren).
