She became very uncomfortable and resistant. She didn't want to consider the concept.

Why?
I think it might be because of how everything is 'taken care of' and 'provided for you'? if everyone gets what they want and never works for anything all we would do is just lie around and get fat, indulgent and stupid. somewhat like how it its now. it IS very disturbing and I don't think anyone truely wants that. if we want something like this to happen, it will happen through our own toil and effort.

grow our own food. get your own water. build your own house and community. work for what you need. what we work for is what we get. this is the way to do it. having a silver spoon shoved up our collective asses won't accomplish anything and is exactly what the negative forces in this world want as they lead us to the slaughter house. lets not make that happen.
