This cartoon illustrated perfectly in which situation we are in to. Too many cars, too much freedom...Our car, our personal Island? No way!
We are blinded by the beauty and functionalities of our car(s), but in fact all cars are meaningless because they all are polluting the environment. As long a car is using gas and/or electricity in what origin they also come from, the situation will always be worsen (cfr. a higher CO2-level than natural causes). The car is a perfect symbol of what this world is: a faster and harder living of human beings. People can tolerate many things, but too much will cause depressions, stress or whatever you call it. The fate of the 21st century...
It's very simple: we all can be very happy if we put some harmony with living objects, like animals, trees, flowers, moving items caused by wind and/or water...
Indeed! We are talking about Feng Shui. Like we said it earlier ( Label: Feng Shui), this science is not another New Age crap or so, but it is an art of living peacefully with other elements, just as human is connected with Nature before. You don't have to throw your cosy stuff that is making life easier, away. No, but for all your materialistic convenience, you have to put somethings from the five elements in opposite, meaning Metal, Water, Wood and Earth. The cultivating cycles.
And since all living beings are created from dust (Earth) and blood (Water) according to the Bible, you know what to do...
This will bring us to another problem, but that's for later!

Natuurkrachten, forces naturelle, Naturkräfte, force of nature,
Ever thought that nature can be powerful for humans? Our ancestors already knew that. What they couldn't explain, they considered these miracles from the spirits of nature. While we have realized a lot of 'materialistic objects', we didn't stand still by the wonders of nature.. Actually we have to, because many people don't feel very comfortable in their 'cosy island', called the city. They create stress-situations, irritations, materialistic happiness, false sense of relationships etc. Why?
It's our human instinct who are always connected to nature that cause these sorrows. We want to be connected again for ever and then we will find our happiness.
A religion again? Not at all. That an all ancient truth. Everything must find a balance between the natural elements metal, water, wood and earth.
The Asians for example have spent a whole SCIENCE to create a harmonic world, called Feng Shui (wind and water) and the Western people only knows Earth, Wind and Fire, notably as a pop group...Unfortunately, Feng Shui is mixed up with the superstition of the ethnic residents there, so Feng Shui is popularized as a magic esoteric New Age formula.
We all have an instinct to create a harmonic place on Earth, but we are blinded by what we have (realized) , by others, and by our human laziness. We all know the difference between good and bad, but who cares? Our humanity has forgotten to give more values. Therefore a good education of our children is very important. Try to be open for all cultures around the world without prejudice and the world will smile to you!
