There is no going back
The yearning for some past lifestyle. The trad wife. The land before colonisation.
The way it was.
It is, at every single level, impossible.
To go back violates the laws of physics and maths.
For a start, you are not the same person you were yesterday. Your biology is different, your experience is different. Multiply that by 8 billion.
Nothing is the same today as yesterday. Even the mountain is slightly more eroded. The shoreline has changed. No two sunsrises ever the same.
Going back is a yearning for a dream.
There is only now, and a commitment towards a better future.
For the good, the true and the beautiful, that commitment is towards a better future for all life.
