Can raising goats help you find a dream life?
With so many folks entrapped in the chains of modern living, they always at least dreaming to escape the rat race. But here is a story of a professor cum writer, along with his wife, did actally jump off the wheel, with a little help from his goat herd raised in his barn in rural Vermont, USA. Goat milk and goat cheese sold helped them make ends meet. Also, his book - Goat Song - the author talks about goat herding and tips on making fresh goat cheese, so much to learn from goats. Most people today in developed (and in developing) countries are running the rat race with blinders on, which is all 21st century living all about, do they even have the time and mind to stop and think about this couple have offered?

Rat Race by Bob Marley and The Wailers.
Lyrics from the song …
Ah! Ya too rude
Oh what a rat race
Oh what a rat race
This is the rat race
Some a lawful, some a
bastard, some a jacket
Oh what a rat race, rat race
Some a gorgan, some
a hooligan, some a
guine-gog
In this rat race, yeah!
Rat race
I’m singing
When the cats away
The mice will play
Political voilence fill ya city
Yea-ah!
Don’t involve Rasta in your say say
Rasta don’t work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race
When you think is peace and safety
A sudden destruction
Collective security for surety
Yeah!
Don’t forget your history
Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty
Rat race, rat race, rat race
Oh it’s a disgrace to see the
Human-race in a rat race, rat race
You got the horse race
You got the dog race
You got the human-race
But this is a rat race, rat race.
The trouble with being in the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.
— Lily Tomlin, American Actress & Comedian
