Foragers Lifestyle > Civilisation Effects!
During an outdoor trek amidst the jungle life, we witnessed a herd of elephants migrating
The herd comprised of different age groups from calf's to adults
Led by a female elephant 🐘, the herd walked with discipline and purpose towards their destination
She guided the herd to use their trunk and senses to follow the path, locate the fodder and sniff for the water body
At the sight of a predator, the herd converged to protect the young ones from falling as prey
An adult male tusker began to move away from the herd as it was evident that he is chased away
We were confused by this action by the herd since we assumed that a fit adult male can well protect the herd from troubles
The forester educated us by sharing the lifestyle of the elephants and made us understand that any male calf that grows to adulthood will be driven out of the herd to self survive and find itself a herd
The male tusker will face challenges from other tuskers to win and claim the mate as well as unite with a herd
The elephants don't leave the carcass unattended and jointly give a royal burial to any deceased member
The mother goes out of the way to save her calf's and the team step in at the sight of trouble
Each member will be assigned with a duty which they steadfastly adhere to and responsibly discharge their duties
Elephants life span, their lifestyle, their way of life, their upbringing of the young ones, their intelligence, their life purpose and such qualities
Closely resemble with our (humans) lifestyle, way of living, life span, life planning and purpose
We were also foragers who migrated as a herd in search of food, water and shelter
There were group leaders who led the clan to find suitable places to colonize, cultivate, regenerate and sustain
Our children were also guided to grow as knowledgeable adults, encouraged to self sustain and the warriors in the group protected the herd
We were also raised to assist others in trouble and disciplined to lead a life as per the standard norms of the society
Our ancestors were given a fitting farewell through the burial rituals and treated as next in line to the Creator
All went well till we began to think differently 👇
What made us drift away from this natural lifestyle was the so-called "civilisation"
Capitalism eroded our care & share quality, allowing 'greed' to take over our soul space which influenced the fight to amass landscape & wealth
Money over mind brought the devil out and chased away the divinity
Our corrupted mind prioritised selfishness and divided the group into individuals who remained focused only on self needs
Stressful life replaced our calm and collected lifestyle which impacted our physical & mental health
Today we find ourselves far away from natures way of healthy living and time is ticking fast
We need to reform ourselves at a fast pace than the time to bridge this gap and get back to merge with Mother Nature and try to live our original lifestyles
