Lately I saw so many books about saving my soul with nature, the "alternatives" I call them, make sure to pass the word; books, magazine, brochures.... hippies.... Many cultures believed that nature is an important part of the human well-balance (body, mind and society). One of them in particular suggested to always have a wood or forest close to home so you could have access to a peaceful, earthful place to meditate for an hour a day. To clean my Soul, to balance my life. To balance my life. For decades now, nature has lost it's place to a darker greedier other nature; my human nature.
No more time for the forests, no more time for the plants and no more time for the connections connecting them together, or connecting us with them, or connecting us with each other; we are now all like 18 years old teenagers, emancipated from our mommy and daddy, grown up enough to take care of our own desires, believes and needs. And wow, WOW, what a big complex system of desires, beleives and needs do we have right? Working stressful jobs for 8 hours so we can relax, 2. And talk about relaxation, how much relax can you be after stress? Stress stays in your system waay longer than your American Idol episode can get rid of the negative effects. As a matter of fact, we don't need anyone telling us what to do anymore, and now that nature got old and grumpy, anti-cool and boring, just like mom, we even go and tell it what to do, what to be. And we end up being at war with it, them. We cut the connections, do our own thing, all night because we can. And why would we do anything differently? Mom's gone...
We now got to a point where the greed of human race has, no, not destroyed nature to a critical point, because that is nearly impossible, but created an unbalance that is unbalancing our fragile existence, and I say "our" existence, not "the earth's" existence. Believe me, nature don't give a damn about you and what you do. You can nuke the shit out of this planet and life will still be here to witness the end of the sun, don't be so damn pretentious as to say that if humans die, the planet's a goner too. From saving human souls with nature, we got to a point where we are trying to save nature from human soul. But do not panic, nature doesn't need help. You do. We all do. Going to the moon has lost it's taste since we can watch on tv any given soap opera. Heavy pollution is an everyday "ok" since nobody really want to talk about it, and the fact that if we want to stop it, we all have to stop buying a cellphone a year, a computer a year, a pair of shoe a week etc etc, and all of that goes in the landfills that no one wants to have in their backyard.
And to my point now. For many years, many people are trying to solve these complicated puzzles, inventing stuff, more stuff, inventing technology, more technology. Inventing better batteries so your brand new cellphone can hold longer while you play useless youtube stupid videos is not the answer. Inventing windmills so you can hook 3 computers per house, is stupid. Creating "greener" gases like Ethanol, growing even more corn that uses fertilizers and pesticides, is retarded. When i hear all those nicely dressed people, talking about how to save the planet, i can't stop to wonder... why should i listen to a race that pisses and shit in their drinkable water, and clean up their asses with trees?
