Perhaps the single most visceral takeaway from hashtag island life is that you’re on it with everyone else here; there is no getting away, in the sense. Sure tourists like me might leave in a week or so, but for that week, you’re stuck here with me. That understanding promotes an easy going nature in itself, an acceptance of cohabitation on limited space. Our species must cultivate such a perspective for this wondrous planet we cohabitate with all the other life present here. If we allow ourselves to see it... prosperity beckons.
