RE: What's So Positive About Living Primitively?

in #offgrid7 years ago (edited)

I love it! I think I would be up to living like that. I love nature, and I admire everything that it gives us. I think we all should spent at least a few days every year living with minimum in the nature just so we can stay a little bit more humble and closer to the earth we live on. Living in cities, with electricity, lights, internet…we take it for granted. This is so far from real life. I mean…I know that this kind of comfort has a lot of positive sides, but with every day it makes us more dependable and we keep needing more and more and there is never enough…we put our effort in work and a lot of thing that doesn’t necessary show the effect or it doesn’t give us its benefits…but if you live in nature and with nature…it makes you a lot more vulnerable…every year I spent at least a week camping with the minimum. Far from my home, with no roof above my head…totally dependable of the weather. Only then you can really feel alive…at least I do. When the storm comes, and you survive heavy raining, strong winds and you fight all along so your little tent doesn’t get blown away…how all the other people around come together and help each other…and how alive do you feel after the storm…it’s priceless. Maybe it is just me, but these are the days for me, that I really feel alive and like I am a part of this nature and planet of ours. I know this is far from real living in the woods thing…but it means a lot to me and I think that kind of living that you described is the future if we accept it or not…if we want our planet to function and we want our kids, plants and animals to live long after we are gone we will have to start thinking in this direction.

You are so right, I do feel more live out here! I find joy in the simplest of things. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my conveniences when I had them. But you know, I never fully appreciated them, instead I took them for granted. Living as I do, I take nothing for granted and everything is a gift. It's a wonderful life. Thank you for stopping by. Here's to camping!
