Electricity is everything, it is fucking LIFE, let me rather say ENERGY, and not the energy one would experience inside ourselves, I am talking here about real physical energy that moves things, it is what keeps your fridges and freezers going so that there can be food stored in it, the food itself is a scary point to look at when the power is out, I asked myself what if the power never comes back?? The food in my fridge is all from somewhere else, I don’t have it in my garden, and the food in my fridge/freezer is designed to have to stay cold or it goes to waste.
Then the next point we constantly face which is water, it s even more important than the food, we can live without food for longer than water, and as we all know water does not just come to our houses through some miracle, it is electricity that brings it all together, unless you have a rain tank with rain water, which will run empty if there is no rain, and then we have a gravity tank which will run empty and need electricity to be filled again. And then there is everything else besides the basic needs of water such as drinking it and growing food with it which is showering and washing cloths and dishes and the use of toilets, it all becomes a problem once there is no electricity/energy to move those things.
We live on a farm so we have a vegetable garden and we have chickens and we have a dam and a tiny river and we have lots of fruit trees, BUT here is the thing, the fruit trees isn’t bearing any fruit currently, the vegetables aren’t always ready at any time, the water from the river and dam are beyond poisonous if you want to drink it, catching fish is never a guarantee, and I mean where do we all take shit’s and piss if the water can’t run.
So consider what it will be for the billions of people living in closed apartments in cramped cities with sometimes no gardens at all even close by and or anything but the system as the alternative, which isn’t a alternative if the power goes out LOL, it is a fucking mess waiting to happen, hell for all at once as everyone’s fears will take to the streets for survival, those with solar energy or wind energy will probably die first as others will kill them for it, and so a cycle will start, anyway!!
There are so many point coming up in relation to what is physically changing just because that ONE point is removed from the rest, electricity, and now I am only mentioning a few points.
If you look at it I am just giving basic NEEDS points, not yet mentioning ALL the other things we have conditioned ourselves with, such as all the entertainment points, your TV and your Music and your PC and your game consoles and Cell phones and how we have accepted and allowed ourselves to live in a world where our basic needs are constantly under threat, our electricity comes from Ancient fossil fuels from within the earth from millions of years ago.
Ever since the power has gone out I haven’t been able to take a shower even when I really need to, it is simply impossible, there is no electricity, there in nothing to give me that warm shower I am so used to, so what is my alternatives? If the power has to never come back on for a hot shower, we only have a dam and a river with water that is disgusting!!
I haven’t been able to just go into my house after a day of work outside and just have a coffee, there is no electricity, I can’t even just quickly watch a movie or a episode of something, I can’t turn the music on and check my facebook or emails or whatever else it is, it is impossible, there is no electricity.
When night comes, it is dark and that is it, there are no lights and there is nothing else to do, I mean we have torch lights, but they only last a few hours, we have candles but they only last for so long.
When night comes I hear a shit load of bugs enjoying the quietness through making loads of sounds and I can even hear the bats for once, I can obviously not see anything outside, I just sit in my house.
It is like I had all of these weird connections unplugged from me and now I am here all by myself, all these points I participated within everyday within a believe that it will continue forever and ever and ever and that I will never have to change anything I do or have to ever consider anything about my daily life because it is always just here, BAM the electricity goes out and here I am suddenly looking at small things such as, where will I get food from once the food in the fridge is gone, I am not growing rice in the garden or corn flakes, its all made and comes from far away yet I eat it every day, I make myself dependant on these things in a system where that which brings it to me is determined by money and based on fossil fuels as the only way it’s getting to me.
The reason for the electricity being out is because we had a massive storm here, it blew trees over everywhere and peoples roofs and all other bunch of stuff, a guy that has been living in this area for the past twenty years say it is the worst he has seen, so the electricity company is up fixing all the shit that went wrong to bring electricity back to the people, they are under pressure lol, because everyone just wants their normal lives to return to them as quickly as possible.
So as we all know South Africa, here they strike for anything any time for good reason though, they get shit money and shit lives, so we just hope they do not decide the work is to much and strike for the next few weeks, those with the money that has always had everything that electricity/energy provides will have HELL, maybe now some people will consider what is means to not have a flushing toilet or to not be able to have anything electricity provides, or they will just want their electricity back and forget.
We have a generator, so we are currently able to generate electricity with ancient fossil fuels to power our fridges and freezers and we can pump water to our gravity tank and have gravity fed water to our houses, but that can only last as long as we have that good old OIL in there, otherwise it is over, and it cost quite a bit of money, but rather that then all the food going moldy and rot and having to re buy that.
My daily routines and patterns in terms of night - mostly is all out of place and really impossible to do, I can write this blog because I charged the Tablet with the generator, so basically I put fossil fuel energy into my Tablet and now I can write and post a blog.
Imagine the whole world going without electricity, we are fucked, imagine that currently no one gives a shit that our world is run by coal and oil and fossil fuels that is created of a time of millions and millions of years, it will run out and we all will not be prepared on all levels unless we apply the EMC principals and do with common sense and LIVE prevention, create a new system before oil runs out where we can start creating a new world where money does not limit us to what is possible and why we are not changing certain point ASAP.
Quickly, consider one point and look into it, right now in your home, where does the water come from and how does it get there, you will find that fossil fuels are bringing it to your home, and you do not even know how and where or anything, do you have a alternative place to get water from? If it has to ever come to it, I mean shops will run out of bottled water, people will becomes demons as fear kicks in.
Do you understand the implications and the facts of when I say Fossil fuels are running EVERYTHING, find out what oil is and where it comes from, your life depends on it currently and it should be quite a fright when you realize the shit we are in from just that one point.
I am still sitting in the dark right now, the time is 21:43, there is nothing to do still, it is impossible, we do not have equipment or abilities to go out and o shit in the dark or get work done, we need light, we need plugs, we need coffee, we need all our stuff in our house such as the PC's to be able to work and the lights and the microwave machine and the kettle and the toaster and the TV and I mean see it for yourself, it’s all dead still.
O the Animals are loving it though, there is a quietness in the air, it’s like the sound of silence, my brain hurts hearing it at times, I am so used to all these machines running and making noise and everything all the time being on, it’s weird but relaxing, my body relaxed extensively in this darkness.
thanks a lot for sharing
