Now i dont want to sound ungrateful for the technology we have developed and gained in our society but i cant help but notice how useless it has made us.
After recently booking a camping trip (my first) i have been watching programmes featuring Ray Mear's. Now watching someone like himself survive naturally and with very basic tools made me realise we have become all but useless in our environment. After watching him i realised i couldn't even do something as basic as light a fire without some elaborate tool that does this for me, and today was the first time i have lit a fire with out some intricate gizmo.
I feel it is a little sad that in our society we have neglected our ancestory and that it is a minority that is able to do these things and not a majority. We spend so much time in gyms yet we have no real use for all this fitness and strength we seem to want.....is it so we look better in our desinger clothes? is it simply to attract the opposite sex? or do we have an instinct that strives to be back in the wild?
Personally, since i re-became single again, i have strived to go back to basics. At first i felt lonely without a girl in my life, but is that simply because that is what iv been taught to believe? but without ripping off fight club too much is what we need in our life another woman?I do believe that unfortunately men are moving away from what we started as, and we pretend its for the better yet what is 'better' is destroying our environment and any natural knowledge we have. I cant help but think we are all becoming the ones who look after the home as none of us have the ability to hunt (and by hunt i mean the ability to catch food without intricate weapons).
But maybe this is all a big contradiction as im writing about this on a computer that has cost me upwards of £1000 with an xbox at the side of me......
thanks jamie even though this probably makes no sense but its been bugging me.if i think of anything clarifying i may re-post in a sensible way.
first blog over and out.
