Desiring to be simplistic in chaotic culture...

Lately, especially considering the economic state America is in I see myself desiring more and more of a simplistic way of living. Each day we are all a part of culture and all a part in stimulating the economy one way or the other, for instance buying or selling things helps businesses progress into being more established throughout the markets. But what if we went back to the more simplistic ways that our founding fathers lived by? Hunting, planting, giving sufficient shelter for there family and even friends. This idea of changing where america is at is absolutely irrelevant and could never really happen within a year or two or even twenty. But the recent "trend" of caring more for the environment and planting throughout large cities has made me think a lot about this type of stuff. Maybe we're finally realizing all of this stuff we've done is so far away from living in an organic type of way. To me Life is organic not because its cool or the expensive thing to buy in stores, its just sensible, and logical that life should be stripped down to the original roots it was created by.

The thought of struggling with money all of my life and paying bill after bill after bill makes me convinced that life is made to be organic. If I struggle with financial debt all of my life and work hours upon hours and hours what are the chances I would fail in raising a healthy family? What are the chances my life would become so busy that I would totally forget the true and meaningful essentials that all humans should live by? What if I take my problems out on the people who mean the most in my life?


Anyways, I write this blog post not to be hopeless and depressing, but to be more careful in how I live throughout my life. I have to understand that this world in so many areas has become so un-organic and when I use the word organic I'm not just using it in the way people talk about organic foods, I'm using it to talk about anything and everything in life that has been altered from the beginning of creation. 

Furthermore, to me...Life was created to be a natural development and made to evolve in the most organic way. But, Man likes to prosper into producing bigger and better things, and when life becomes over populated and busy we invent ways of making things work faster and in more quantities. Go hunting, Plant some flowers, Work out problems within your family, Take your kids fishing, Go plant some vegetables this summer, eat good food I know I struggle at that...live in a more simplistic way and enjoy doing it.
