Revisited: How to Build A 3 Bedroom House Slowly using the 52 Week Challenge.

This article is good but has one fatal flaw.

I will try to explain it in my new understanding of #TheGoodLife

The beginning point of all to-build decisions should be, "Why?"

Not how many rooms.

Because the most important part of the house is the person and their spirit which inhabits and reflects on the material world (Interiors, Allocation of space, Function and Size of spaces etc)

I love using the example of the lowly because it covers everyone up the status rank.

Q. If i were a Cobbbler, how would i build my first house?

I would not declare it MUST be a 3 bedroom house. That would be a fatal mistake.

I would probably wish for a big tree to sit under.
And I would find a piece of land with a big tree or where I can plant one.

Everything else would follow that.

Small parks everywhere.

If you buy land amongst say 150 people, you can turn yours into a park and charge a small fee to maintain it.

If everyone is building, go the other direction... βœ”πŸ’―πŸ˜

In future, green spaces will be premium for events, recreation and bench press.πŸ˜‚
Notes.✍🏿

People need green open places to go; when they are close they use them.

But if the greens are more than three minutes away, the distance overwhelms the need.

There are several themes you can adopt that fit various moods:

- Rock Garden
- Caves
- Green Lawns
- Open Gym
- Children's Park etc

Once you define what the good life is for you, every day will bring new chances to live it.

And if a day is blank, tomorrow will be another day.

Include things that don't need money
-Sunshine
-Laughter
-A potted plant
-Sketching
-Writing
-A walk
-A dance

Life is for the alive Image
Lack of this awareness of the simple things that make a good life becomes a predicament when one wants to do a big spend.

It is best to define it when times are dire and hope is little.

That is the moment for Visioning. And if you can know that one thing viscerally. That's it

Thief + Stategy = Strategic Thief.

How will we insulate bottom-up economics from the anarchy of self-interests?

I am honestly unable to resolve this dilemma within the limits of, "society gets what it deserves."
If we were in a former state of nature, i would understand the mechanism of having a strategic thief.

Uganda and the neighbours would simply weep and wail.

But these are Known Thieves. And I am speechless because I equally don't know where angels sleep.
Until the answers come, we are like bats stuck in a chimney stack.

And the owners are adding firewood

Q. If you started a wheelbarrow making factory your village, how many obstacles will stop you?

That is the Conversation.

Ease of Doing Business.

Not ease of Picking and Pushing Wheelbarrows.
Every small business owner knows how hard it is to breathe in this economy.

Remove the bottlenecks.
I doubt you will weld one Wheelbarrow to completion without Kenya Power switching power off

And when you lift your head, a County Official will be at your door step$

And can you afford to transport the steel to Location?

Will you afford to pay the wages?

Will the banks fund?

When I observe how these people talk, hug and smile.

And observe how you can be stabbed for trying to elevate a brother next door.

I keep very quiet.
There is a certain insidious crab mentality amongst the poor.

It was as if the loaf of life has so few slices, and you should starve that they may eat.

Yet, at the top, they talk bakeries.
When you have two Lazaruses, they would still rather fight for bread crumbs than seek to sit at the table.

The distance between the floor and the seat is not 900mm. It could be Generational Years. A whole Mindset. Hard to explain!
