Anjali - We Should Go Back to Nature

 There was some discussion about life in urban areas and the comfort and security we draw from living in cities. 


Anjali said 'We should live in nature only.'

I asked her why?

'I think that's how we were made to live,' said she. 'To live with a sense of insecurity, without all these unnecessary comforts. It somehow feels that's the way to live for humans appreciating life, nature etc. We won't have all these man-made problems then.'

I thought about what she said and felt that it made sense. We are so cocooned, so secure, so used to comfort that we are not really pushing our boundaries nor are we living or growing. Our lives have been reduced to survival and not about growth. Whatever growth we see is only outer and very little inner growth. For that, we need to connect with ourselves, with nature.

Not a bad idea really.
