Our first requirement is to take care of this body. To live happy we need to live healthy. To take care of others things we need to take care of this body first. In order to achieve good health most important thing we can do for this body is to provide proper nutrition through good food
Our purpose in life is very simple to be happy, to live a happy life “my dad keeps telling me that”. We don’t have 2 purpose in life and definitely it can’t be our job. Our purpose is to be happy. We work or do jobs to earn ,to service, to arrange for “food, clothing & shelter”. At least thats how it started couple of decades ago. Most of us have forgotten this and are busy chasing some wild dream because its evident from our surroundings. Pollution, global warming, species extinction, water contamination & shortage, over population, declining human health, chemical infested poisonous food.
We believe that nature is different from us and thats why we treat it differently. We have polluted the environment, we have corrupted our food & we have contributed in extinction of species. But this is where we are so wrong. We need to realise that we are part of nature and not separate from it.
Both the sentences are true we are part of nature and we don’t realise that since we are busy damaging it day in and day out. We are harming it with our unrealised daily activities, choices and future plans. And its affecting us, its like a mirror, whatever we do to it, it does the same to us, we chop down trees, burn them, burn fossil fuel and it chokes us and gives us many lung & skin disease like asthma, bronchitis, cancer, etc. We grow selective variety of food and nature takes away our immunity. It can’t get any clearer than this.
Similarly by practicing conventional farming where seeds are GMO and treated with chemicals like fungicides to putting urea or other chemical fertilisers and spraying synthetic fertilisers have resulted in death of soil. Soil is a living organisms where billions of micro-organisms live and are very helpful in maintaining healthy environment for natural farming but addition of chemical fertilisers hampers their existence. Moreover, life around plants is eliminated by spray of pesticides like insecticides & herbicides.
The big corporates have created this fear of germs in us as if germs as bad for our existence, but the truth is 95% of micro-organisms are beneficial for us. We are 40% by weight made of these micro-organisms so killing these means killing ourselves.
Its high time that we stop believing in these myths and follow the right science rather than following with these myths driven by capitalism.
