Maybe I've only started to taste real life

You can pick fruits and nuts directly from trees instead of buying from supermarkets without knowing where they come from.
You can get fresh milk from healthy and happy cows instead of buying packaged pasteurized milk that can be kept for months without knowing how the cows are doing.
You can just collect flowers in the wild, dry them, and make herbal tea instead of buying them without knowing how the soil is.
You can get fresh eggs from running around chickens instead of those who can barely walk in the crowded farms.
You can get honey from the bees, bees do most part of the work to search for flowers in the wild.
You can get seafood directly from the open sea.
You get silk from cocoons, cotton from plants, wool from sheep or goats to make fabrics instead of from lab made plastic.
You can extract the dyes from roots, nuts, berries, and flowers instead from labs, using chemicals yet in the name of sustainability or organic, how funny. ( I'm really happy that I will be learning about this in a week! )
The best skincare comes from within - the food you eat, the water you drink, the air you breathe, and the most important part: your mood, instead of layer of layer skincare products.

aren't nature provide all the essential things that we need? If I can't get something from nature or with minimal touch from humans, maybe better stay away from them.

or live closer to nature and be close to people who have farms. 😂

but yes, having your own farm would be amazing but that's also lots of work, need to find the balance.

my mum once let me have some baby chicks in the balcony when I was a kid , it was supposed to be for fun, and then they grew up to lay eggs ( and you don't need to do much with them, just need to clean the place and feed them ) and I remembered those eggs were so delicious! and I was always waiting and went to grab the eggs after it's "out". 🤓

Touch grass as they say

Enjoy nature while we can. Everything comes from nature one way or the other. The problem is not nature. The problem is there are too many humans. Technology is allowing to stretch the number, for now. Do we really want to have to replace bees with tiny bee robots? It's sad. I love bees. In recent years I have seen many dying in front of me and it breaks my heart.

The problem is there are too many humans.

I think the main problem is fiat money, why tell or teach you how you can get things from nature? the economy will suffer if everyone is being self-sufficient and lives their own life; if no one to work at the office, how to tax them? 🤔

Technology is allowing to stretch the number, for now.

I have a different feeling toward technology these days, for example the Internet is meant to solve the information problem, yet it's leading to more noise, confusion, and more control.

Or high tech leads to losing touch with nature, with all the cold machines it's getting harder to learn how things used to be made by bare hands, etc.

The art is to learn how to use it instead of being used.
