state of the jungle #53: "Please give me detailed instructions on how to make a permaculture site like yours, but, you know, without you."
I get so many snarky, nasty, disrespectful demands of me that it has become what I expect when I encounter somebody new.
One of my all time favorite books is "Lamb" by Christopher Moore. In the book, Jesus (yes, THE Jesus) at age 18 (or so) and his best friend Biff seek out the three wise men. And they are on to wise man #2 who is a buddhist monk. They found his place and it seems they have to wait outside for three full days before they allowed to enter. About two minutes in, Biff says something less than respectful and the two boys find themselves outside again - waiting another three days. Of course, Jesus was very forgiving. It's sort of his thing.
I find that most people have an expectation that all other people are to serve them. Kinda weird.
