The Great Outdoors

Wouldn't life be so much better if we all lived in the Shire? I would relax, smoke pipeweed with Bilbo Baggins, and live in a comfortable hobbit-hole. Now that would be the life.

Anyways, I wish the real world were that comfortable. Amidst the many changes we have undergone due to technology, life has become a much more high-speed place. I think sometimes we forget about the important things in life, like the real, natural world we have been given, and how to enjoy what's left of it.

Even our houses are too enclosed. I mean, I'm grateful for them, because they make things so much easier, but because of them we are blocked from nature. Maybe someday I'll move out into the wilderness and live as a hermit. Just kidding; that's probably going to extremes. But I'm going to camp more when I'm older. I guess camping is really the only way to seriously get into the great outdoors.
