Rediscovering the Essence: Balancing Modernity with Ancestral Wisdom
The first inhabitants of Australia, observing the sky and the stars, contemplated an unchanged universe since their arrival 65,000 years ago. Perhaps we should reflect on the impact we have had on the Earth since the Industrial Revolution. Of course, I appreciate the advantages of 21st-century modernity – cars, connections via Starlink and its myriad satellites. But who were truly happier: those who possessed essential knowledge for survival, or us, whose knowledge has plunged us into a materialistic and superficial world, potentially even leading to our downfall?
We live in a society where eternally dissatisfied individuals seek to govern us or seize power to reduce us to materialistic ants, never truly grasping the essence of life. This essence is about enjoying the moment, feeling what surrounds us: nature, so pure and ancestral, with its scents, sounds, dangers, and beauties. Simple things like a sunset, a moonrise, the breeze on our skin are treasures we often neglect.
It is important to become attentive again in this life where we are pushed to run to be the first. It is also good to stop, to walk, and to appreciate because we only have one life. And if reincarnation exists, it’s better not to let the world explode in our face; otherwise, reincarnation might happen in a void. I believe in humanity and in this universal force that ultimately drives us in this perpetual quest to rebound for the better. So let’s stay positive!
And You? 😀What do you think about it ?😅🤔
