Farming is intensive and difficult. Nothing simple about it. There is a reason people have been running away from it for centuries.


But yes, much of that is what I hope for.

I reckon working with your brain is better than doing high intensive labor like farming. Farming is a tough job

I probably wouldn't be able to hack it. My fingers would get calloused, my nails ruined and my hands rough, that would just suck. Lakin for a guy, you'd just get ripped, pecks and biceps and everything :lol:

It's not a lazy person's job lakin it requires brains, certainly more brains than sitting at a desk pushing paper.

You know you can't rely on a farm in Somalia cuz there's a water demand. Maybe if irrigation means were present. N no way is that a simple life. You basically gotta work n do some real labor for every meal you eat. :lol:

It takes far more physical labor than brains, an idiot can farm.
