As evolution progresses and eras of bygones are replaced by newer
thoughts and better living standards, mankind is drifting away from
natural living. Instincts are replaced by scientific approach towards
life.
Every action of man now seems to require training, so much so that children have to be taught to walk using walkers. There are special centers for potty training children. What can be more natural than these tasks, for which we seem to be needing training! I could not believe my eyes when I saw an advertisement for the diapers used for children which claimed to absorb 1 mug of the child's urine free, for every three mugs of urine that the child passes!
Artificiality has crept into every thought and every action of ours that natural living seemed to have died a natural death!
Talking and communicating with people who are standing in front of us has become very difficult. While mankind has learnt to talk to voices remote over network that has so trapped us in its web, the neighbour who lives next door is akin to alien being. We have willingly moved into this realm of artificiality that has now become a reality, that a few years’ hence no one will remember the era of natural living.
Artificial living has given birth to C-section deliveries, that women are opting willing to deliver their children unnaturally! Breast feeding is fast fading from the face of earth, that some good souls are now advocating for it and creating awareness among women whose genes are so adapted to the artificiality around. In every sphere of life, either willingly or by force of situation, we have soaked this artificiality so much that we are unable to get back to basic living.
In the heart of hearts each of us who has seen the rustic life style yearns for it. It seems so near yet so far to embrace the once prevalent, slow-paced living style. In the race against time to establish ourselves financially, we bury our dreams and ambitions. The burden of raising kids surrounded by pushing competition and raising standards, we miss out on their childhood.
The joys of parenting, the happiness of raising kids have become a feature of the era bygone. The speed at which progress is approaching living makes one feel, to what might shall we compete this race, which already seems to have overtaken us!
