Wild animals KNOW what to eat... (105) | smokey | 2/16/2008 7:51:47 PM |
And what not to eat. They don't take drugs. They don't take vitamins. They don't build hospitals. Yet they are vital to the end. Why? Because Nature KNOWS how to balance pleasure and pain. Mankindin all his infinite wisdom is forever trying to minimize pain andmaximize pleasure. But constant pleasure comes at a cost. Just as too much inflation invites the inevitable deflation, so to does too much pleasure invite inevitable pain. As ease grows, so does dis-ease. Natureis energetically balanced. As man has become more civilized andcitified, his awareness of this balance becomes dormant and he beginsto THINK that he can control the balance to his liking. All humandisease is created by this ignorance. Domestication has reduced us to reeling robots quibbling about cures to our own creations. Naturehas no such quibbles. It always knows what to do and when to do it.Both pain and pleasure provide Her with the momentum to continueevolving. It's time to get back to the beneficial balance so basic to the Wild. Whether we like it or not. |
