What the Westerner has lost: the link with nature.
It is an observation, but this simple statement is already revealing, since the language (at least ours!) Endorses a duality which does not exist, but which was deliberately constructed.
I don't approach it that way.
Already I am not sure of "deliberately", because once the finger in the improvement of his living conditions, difficult not to continue.
In this the process would be natural, let us say rather, understandable.
The problem is that we have set up a perverse system (which does not suffer contradiction, which does not suffer shutdown: growth, capitalist crescentism)
Without wanting to denigrate your cultural contribution, I stick to the only observation.
Because knowing the why and how does not necessarily solve the problem. Sometimes yes, sometimes no and then I don't think that solves the problem.
Like when I cut myself with a saw I know why it hurts, I know how it happened, I know all about it but it still hurts so much.
Knowing does not take away the pain, knowing does not correct the problem.
It is a fairly common knowledge mistake to think almighty. This is also one of the causes of the current situation.
In this case we have cut ourselves too far from nature. This single fact, this single observation, if it is really made, should generate its own action.
Sam is enough!
