MEADOW AND FOREST OR CLUB AND SHOPPING GALLERY? WHAT DO YOU PREFER?

 πŸ’œ 🌳 WE DON'T GO TO THE FOREST TO QUIET BECAUSE IT IS A PLACE OF PEACE AND QUIET.

After all, all the time you are in the middle of a large and quiet forest area, there is a murderous fight of predators for food, and their victims - fight for escape and survival. From the smallest, single-celled organisms, invisible to the naked eye, to the great forest predators / carnivores.

➡️ The idea that the fuel for life (e.g. food) is delivered very often (daily, instead of e.g. every few years), as well as the idea that one life must murder and devour another life to survive, is the embodiment of hell for me . I don't know what the person (or something) who came up with it had in mind. I analyze it with my fallible, gnostically inspired mind. And since no one has yet done the work of solving this riddle, it is assumed that the Creator of all things himself and his intention are inscrutable and impossible to comprehensively comprehend.

Well, I would give the Creator a six for the graphics, I would give him a 5+ for the level of development (complication), and for the atmosphere of this earthly game - insufficient with an exclamation mark. πŸ˜‰

➡️ But let's get back to the merits.

Well, we walk long kilometers into the depths of the forest abyss to sit on a stump, listen to the silence interrupted by the subtle voice of the wind, enter a meditative trance, take a sip of good beer, because the mechanized civilization has created even more stressors than the eternal forest full of traps and threats.

Once a wolf chased a man maybe once a year, these animals have long since learned to avoid people. Similarly, rarely when living, for example, in the Mediterranean, it happened that the specter of hunger hovered over you. You could always collect or hunt something.

➡️ Meanwhile, today the role of a tiger or a wolf was taken over by the boss and his constantly new and new tasks to be performed or his moods, frustration or even mobbing. And the specter of hunger hangs over you whenever you are unable to carry out a given command, when you are fired from work, when interest rates increase, inflation, levies paid to the bank, taxes, fuel prices, food prices, and so on.

We have a lot of stressors, such as the constant, incessant roar of engines, whether at work (warehouse, factory, driver's cab), or in traffic. At home we turn on the radio or TV, and from behind the wall we hear the noises of the neighbors. Even considering only sound stimuli, there are many more stressors in our times. It is worth remembering that loud noise is a great stress for the body.

So in the middle of the forest, away from human settlements, the number of all these stimuli is still large, but less than in the circle of civilization.

I was stalked on a foggy December evening

 The fog was thick, wrapping the streetlights in a soft, spectral glow. It was a Friday evening, the kind where the air hung heavy with the ...
