I posted about not flying last week and got unexpectedly large agreement/endorsement and I thank every one of you for it.
Nonetheless, in day to day life I feel so alone in my stance. And I remained silent about it in a conversation last night that left me feeling really quite sad about just how disinterested most people are in the fabric of the rest of their lives. It’ll be in tatters and they’ll have helped shred it willingly.
The disconnect is vast
@urlyman I don't fly anymore for the same reason and get my wife a little angry too when I say, no, I would not like to make holidays in X or Y.
I mean, heck, when I was little we did one trip to South Africa by plane to visit family and that was it. All other holidays were holidays I fondly remember (by car not train, but you can improve). Nowadays it seems holiday = flying for some weird reason.
So, long story short: I'm 💯 on board with you and you should not feel weird about it.
@cweickhmann thank you :)
