The time has come to liquidate the past life I’ve lived for thirty years. I must abandon the hope that others would see the logic and Light that drove Mii to help create housing for the masses who need it.
Time has swept past my cognizance so often now that time blindness seems like a normal state of mind. How many decades did I waste as a young man for not knowing what I now understand at 70 years old? I see that others will not necessarily do what is best for themselves and others, but instead choose the easiest path, even if it does not lead to the places they want their lives to go. Is it laziness, or simply a blindness to what is best for us, and taking paths that are destructive to our bodies or families, without ever knowing where the paths we choose will lead? Following others who are going the wrong direction seems easy when there are so many going in that direction without checking the map to see where their behavior and choice of paths will lead them.
For many people, they will never check what lies ahead and will trust that others know what is right, and thus following will lead to success. Sadly, that is far from the truth, for what leads most people to their choices is simply what feels good at the moment, not what will do them the most good in the long run.
What is the easy way to get what they think they want? Usually, it means skipping work to get a reward without knowing it will hurt you more than help you after the alcohol, drugs, sweets, or laziness takes its toll on the body. Aging faster, being unhealthy, and feeling like sleeping instead of living are signs that one is on the wrong path, but if all the others they are following experience the same ill effects, they will think it is normal and simply a part of life.
It is not normal to break away from the crowd, pick a path for your life that takes you away from friends or family, and leads you to a healthy life full of energy that they will never find. What does it take to break away from the peers and pressures that keep on doing the same thing repeatedly, regardless of the obvious consequences?
How do you want to age? Youthfully or to lose your strength, energy levels, mental clarity, and suffer from pain after 50 years old instead of living well until 100 years old? Most people do not think about their health when they are young, but as they get older, it becomes the most important thing in their lives.
Why don’t we teach young people how to stay youthful instead of feeding them the sugars and poisons in the form of artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives? Why don’t we teach youth how to keep their bodies healthy from childhood, rather than waiting until they are in their teens or adulthood to learn how to maximize their bodies’ potential to grow into their best form by age 21? That is how much time it takes to form this body and shape it through exercise it so as to develop the muscles and the mindset it takes to stay healthy for a hundred years.
These are the true treasures we have a chance to experience in life. Having children and raising them well, healthy, enthusiastic, wanting to live and contribute to our common good as a global society. Why do people fail to take this responsibility on with the desire to do it right, to give the child all the love and support it takes to create a healthy person for our society to integrate into it with a common goal of making the planet Wii, all the “I”s that share it knowing that the resources are limited and the consequences of abusing our world will be paid by our children, thus it is up to us to preserve the quality of life here. We are the generation that has seen the consequences and has the science to understand the future requires that humans change their perspective and refocus on preservation, cleaning up the mess made by our ancestors and the people in the world who do not see what our trashing of the world will lead to in the next generations suffering from cancer, health issues, and famines that will follow if humans continue to war, destroy nature, and poisoning all the drinking water on the planet with chemicals that kill all creatures that absorb the chemicals put in the food and environment without considering the long term consequences.
Tiny Texas Houses is selling out its inventory, machines, and means to build homes from pure, all-American-made parts, leaving out the toxic materials that come with new homes by providing spaces crafted from cellular tissue from giant trees that once covered the Earth, now rarely found. This is the wood that will last for centuries because it grew for centuries before being cut down during the 1800-1900 years of resource abundance, when the rich took advantage while the masses struggled just to survive. Now, the cost of housing is reaching a point where many cannot afford it and must live on the streets. This is the time to wake up and realize the system is broken and solutions must be found.
Sometimes it is scary to take the big step, the leap of faith, but it is necessary to overcome the fear of failure, of dying if you step off the path that others have told you to follow.
I regret that these solutions did not gain more traction instead of being shadowbanned and kept out of the mainstream so that they could be exposed to the solutions that could house millions without cutting down a tree or importing a single part. Obviously, I did not figure out how to convince others to consider this path to housing instead of the modern, toxic building materials that give cheap space at the cost of the health of those who are suckered into buying homes designed to fall apart in 15 years. Sadly, there does not appear to be a way to show anyone else the path to success, the housing communities created from the treasures of our past, left to us by ancestors who savored their freedom and the opportunity to build healthy lives for themselves and their children. We do have choices, but few know what they are and most are convinced to copy others instead of taking the path that leads to healthier lives, fully lived with the energy and love that leads to a peaceful society rather than those that go to war over the right to abuse the lands and people they conquer, to take their wealth and destroy their health for greed, no more.
We have a few houses to sell as I end the production of tiny homes for the people who want a healthy tiny home to rest in at night and wake to create miraculous results daily. Please let us know if one of them interests you, as there will not be any more added to the collection of houses I built while running Tiny Texas Houses over the last couple of decades, with the hope that others would come along to carry on the torch for healthy housing and solutions for the many who seek a simpler, healthier life.
You could still invest in a tiny home to earn income from as a rental or as a home for someone to live in on the property you already own, without adding on to the main house or raising your property taxes, since these are portable buildings, taxed differently than a home.
Give us a call if you want the parts to create natural, organic houses without imports and toxins. These two houses are available for purchase, possibly to stay on the land here under a lease for the years ahead, or to leave for a new homestead somewhere else. These are the last of the Tiny Texas Houses to be created and sold to the public, if no one else comes to buy the business and carry on the baton for healthy, lifetime-lasting tiny houses instead of just a decade or two. Create an heirloom for a home and leave it for your relatives to share for decades to come.
