Fine lines, thin walls

The other day, lovely turkeys walked up the street. Yes lovely! I never knew. Thick and shimmery rainbow feathers.

Is there anywhere in the world one can go to escape Christmas lights and plastic Santas? A third-world village with no running water... Is that what it comes down to? Is the trade-off for Convenience & Comfort -> Extravagance and Ignorance? Exchange Disease & Hunger for Mindlessness?

Theoretically, I'd like to be a more "positive" person. But I don't want to be a robot. And I don't want to ignore negativity. I just don't want it resting on my shoulders so much, spitting in my eyes.
The question is, can I be this mythical "positive person" and still keep a critical view. I don't want to accept or approve what I currently want to dig a hole out of (or into). Intrinsically, I disapprove. Changing that would be changing my self. Lobotomy, maybe.
I don't want to be normal or "like the others". I want to be myself and see my world, but with the addition of happiness and friends. Can those things co-exist? Who knows.

Time for a road trip, eh? Would like to spend a day in a forest without saying a word. Laughing at squirrels and petting mushrooms.
