We had those in our middle school and grade school, actually there was more then that, there were huge tunnels 15ft under ground that run the length of the grade school, middle school and high school.
I bet you could grow some damn good weed in that space.
Uhm hell yes, I've always wanted a place like the Tennessee pot cave. Now that would be my dream come true. I don't want it for the wealth I want it for the freedom of growing cannabis and helping others while doing it.
It's a shame on that place. What a moron to steal the power. I don't think the dude would have been caught for a long long time. I read somewhere that the place got mysteriously burned down.
Yep part of it did, I went and saw it in person, that place was crazy. I guess greed got to them......
Generation Alpha will probably have the highest suicide rates. Sad but true
Good question, I think true contentment comes later in life. When I was younger I was caught up in the rat race and focused on the wrong things. Kids, mortgages, career building tend to do that and get you off-track. As I got to mid-forty's I realized that it was all crap and health, family, true friends were all I "needed", everything else fell into its rightful place at that point. Of course you have to experience things to come to some realizations, which is where maturity comes into play.
If you aspire to less, does that make you happier? meaning, less time wasted managing all your "stuff/possessions?" We (my family) live simplified by choice. It's liberating.
Have to agree, it's all the "stuff" that can complicate your life, more stuff, more bills, more time managing them, take away the time you can spend just being yourself and doing the things you like. When you take away all the complications you have more time to spend on the people and things (hobbies, sports etc.) that you enjoy the most. There's definitely a cultural angle, North American culture has been driven and encouraged to consume, 24x7 consumption, no downtime, little time to just be.
Thanks, yeah, that'll do it. In a strange way though, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. With that diagnosis and being able to beat it, or at least manage it, I see things differently. Only way I can describe it is it's like being a kid again, the sky is deeper blue, I can hear and feel the wind again, I can "feel" and "communicate" with animals and plants, the little things we loose as we get older and all those distractions get in the way. Good to go right now, that diagnosis was almost 6 years ago, still go every 6 months and every test keeps coming up clean
They keep telling me I can't get rid of it and it'll come back (oncologists have the worst bed-side manner! lol), I say bull-shit, I grow my own meds and don't take any pharma meds they try pushing on me, still here mother-fuckers... 
People here have less, not by choice, but because this is a 3rd world country that's barely industrialized and mostly agricultural. Most things are imported and expensive, I can't afford a car and it ain't easy to go around on foot, there's no real public transportation. If I'm going to star a business and need some kind of machinery or product, I have to either get it here overpriced because of inflation, or get it form the states or Europe. That doesn't mean people don't wanna live like 1st world citizens, with commodities and comfort, at least here in the cities. I mean, we have bills and shit too, and to some extent, to some people, the more bills the better. Other kind of "possessions" are also very sought after here, like academic degrees. I know this cause my generation was expected to go and get a professional degree, like our fathers did, but unlike our grandparents. In my family, I'm like the second person with a professional degree, and they are really pushing my siblings to get theirs. The families of the people I met in college had the same interest. And it's fucking expensive to get it.
Thanks for the perspective.
