The belief that nature is the best is very common, and there is a very reasonable amount of truth to it. Natural is good, it's healthy and all, but let's not forget that not all naturals are healthy.
I mean, I don't think we can really come this far by being strictly natural.
No matter how good-natured nature might be, anyone who says or supports being strictly natural is just unrealistic and hypocritical, like, come on.
If you want to go strictly natural and shame other people for being artificial in any way, then maybe do it the right way and do it fully.
I am talking about—coming to me with your argument of being strictly natural with no clothes on, no shoes, no cream—because yeah they aren't natural. And you'd better walk or ride on a donkey or something. Because that's the only way to keep it fair. You can't tell me to strictly be natural when you aren't strictly natural, and you expect me to listen to you.
Natural things have their own values. Especially the food, fruits and vegetables are often much healthier than processed food. I think that is the part of nature that has the largest and most significant impact on life.
And also the body and mind thrive better when close to nature. Sunlight, clean air and fresh breeze, yeah, I can testify to that being amazing.
I know it is said that artificial things, especially the food, reduce life span and all, but also let's not pretend and lie that if one gets bitten by a highly venomous snake or poisoned by an ivy, the person is going to go running any other direction except to the hospital to get a modified/synthetic antidote.
Would they say they want to be strictly natural and run into the forest to find a specific natural herb that saves their life?
Technology and artificial things improve life, and there is no way it can be denied. Medicine, transport, clothes, devices, education tools, and so many countless inventions by great minds have contributed a lot.
So I find it funny when people take the natural thing too far and act like these inventors are pure evil.
Isn't it ironic that if they are really strictly natural like they claim, then we wouldn't even hear their opinions as much as we do? Except they have 100% naturally made phones I don't know about.
And I doubt anyone would want to listen to someone naked because clothes aren't 100% natural. I for sure would label you crazy the moment I see you butt naked on the streets. Even leaves won't do it for me.
We could just balance it. Eat good food like fruits and medicine.
Use technology like solar energy and recycling tech to preserve nature.
And clothes aren't just about covering nudity, by the way. Trust me, as someone who lives where mosquitoes are no joke, I appreciate clothes a lot because of protection.
I respect nature and prefer natural things when available, but where it can't be helped, I have to go for artificial ones.
I don't believe in “extreme naturals”
Nature is important but not absolute.
