Back to nature!
Man often creates lot
of problems for himself. He has high ambitions. He wants to acquire lot of
wealth and rise to high status for which he keeps on manoeuvring. He remains
engrossed in endless chain of struggles. Ultimately, he succeeds in acquiring
wealth. He often gets high post having lot of perks and facilities. He builds
high rise buildings having all the modern gadgets. There are people who have
even helipads built in their household rooftops.
The question is-how
these things impacts our physical and mental health? We are having sleepless
nights despite air-conditions and comfortable beds? On the other hand, persons
earning daily wages have peaceful sleep over the pavements. This is the big
difference between material achievements and peace of mind.
Health is one of the
greatest asset we possess. We can earn a lot and make lot of property but
cannot enjoy them unless we are physically fit. We cannot do anything with sick
body rather we become a liability to our nears and dears. So, we must try to
keep our fit so long we live in this world. It is not entirely in our hand but
still we can do a lot.
There has been lot of
improvement in medical science. Doctors have been able to device cure for most
of the diseases but nothing could be done to prevent death. Nobody can defer it
even for a moment. Nobody has come to this world to remain for ever. When time
comes, everybody has to go.
We are all mortal but
the fact to be noted is that the body is the vehicle for the journey of life.
We exist through our body. Our mind can work only if we are healthy. It is a
known fact the body and the mind impact each other. We cannot have good
physical health unless we have sound mental health. This holds good vice-versa
also.
Some people appear to
be very healthy. They try to smile when confronted with the people outside. All
of a sudden, we get the news of such persons committing suicide or killing
someone in revenge. Why does it happen? In fact, people who appear to be
cheerful and healthy from outside are often victim of self-created
contradictions which often overpower them and they commit crimes and even
inflict wounds on themselves. Such things
happen because such persons are
unable to take a balanced view of things around.
One of the essential
requirements for keeping good health is to avoid thinking too much. Over
thinking often results in negativities remain confined to our own thoughts and
are unable to benefit from the experiences of others. Things keep on changing.
It is, therefore, advisable to keep our mind open and consider contrarian
views.
Most of us keep eating
throughout without understanding its damaging impact on our health. Food is
required for providing energy to the body and the mind. If, however, the intake
of food is not balanced with the requirement of the body system and is
dominated by lust to eat things which may not be healthy, we are actually
losers. We, therefore, need to control ourselves while piping food inside the
body. This may prevent us from lot of troubles.
Everything said and
done, we must take advantage of the modern medical science not only in
preventing disease but also in treating it. There are medicines which can now
cure diseases which were so far considered to be incurable. Even dreaded
disease like Cancer can be cured, if treatment is not unduly delayed. Modern
medical science specially treatment through surgery has proved a boon for the
modern civilization. Many persons who could have died young or at very prime
stage of life have been successfully cured and are living a healthy life beyond
sixty.
Birds, animals and many
other living beings do not have hospitals to treat them. They just live and
die. Living and dying are both natural process. We as human being are well
educated and have developed technical knowledge about things which we normally
do not see from our eyes. This is the cause of big trouble for us because we
think to be very powerful and try to capture natural process by artificial
things. This has disturbed the balance which otherwise existed in nature.
Nature has auto correction system. If our body
or mind needs some treatment due to malfunctioning, necessary corrective
measures are taken automatically. Medicines only revive or strengthen those
capacities which nature has already given us. These days seasons are changing.
There are too much hot during summer seasons. There are no timely rains. This
imbalance of nature has spoiled out mental and physical health. The question
is- “How to face this situation? “The answer is: “Go back to nature.” Let us
make an honest attempt to live close to nature .Then only we can enjoy to the fullest.
