Accept and then Expect

 

So 2020, has brought into focus, what we are collectively bat at. we;;, the list seems quite long and bad. while globally we have identified the issue and vaccinations are flying far and wide, we again seem to be missing the point. There is a reason when nature tells us to stop dead in our tracks. It is not nature telling us that we are just wrong; we are being told that we absolutely and dangerously wrong.

We have been cutting trees, ruining ecosystems, merrily calling ourselves as foodies and indulging in greed. All this may sound like a preachy article, but frankly why and since when have started using food as a means of soul enrichment. It has been forever. But since when have we started relying on only food and soul enrichment.

When e were denizens of caves, we ate when we were hungry. Now we eat even when we are full and then pay the gyms to un-eat everything. This is new because we used to go out and get or eat food and come back to our relations for emotional support. So where exactly did the diversion start?

Relations were the emotional food we relied upon. This time we are not the emotionally interdependent species; we have started looking at intra things to basis our needs on. Food is the new drug. There is so much hiding behind food that we sometimes take away the focus on why we eat food and what it does to our body. There was a sense of being serene and at peace which used to be part of our very existence. From owing lands to looking at YouTube where we look at pretty woman living in calm, neat and wooden settings. This is a dichotomy of our times.

If this article is looking in various directions, it is because we are scattered. We are still learning and evolving race. It is time to calm down and then move to doing what sets us towards our success. But this is not at the cost of destroying other things which has made us who we are. We need to build and nurture.

Being calm is being surrounded by lives which nourish you which do not destroy your inner confidence. Calm is when you feel that smile developing on your face when you meet someone or do something that makes you happy.

Being calm is rediscovering and reclaiming. It is so okay to want to be back to square one. That is in fact the need of the hour. Switching off our outer surrounding is switching off from our internal machinery.

These blogs are all connected and we will look at the various aspects of who we are and how we can accept life as it comes to expect more from life. But, there is an energy exchange with nature. Calmness, we need to live recyclable lives. We are here to enrich and nourish our world, the more it happens outside, the more the inner becomes calm and happy.
