Following a recent article I wrote about living wild in the so much civilized environment that we suffer today, I wanted to specifically focus on an idea that I introduced but did not explore to the very end of it.
There are multiple possibilities that we have to escape from the normal living conditions that so many stress and depression problems cause. Two of the most typical ones are living in a campervan, and living in a boat. While I think that the possibility of living in a boat is one that really applies to very few people (even if I know some of them and you they’re very interesting people) the idea of living in a camper should apply to everybody.
And don’t tell you are not made for that, because you are, whether you believe it or not. What turns us away from this possibility? Why do we keep the life we have right now? Why is it not working and produces so many health and mental problems?
Let me answer the last one first. We are not prepared to live in this way. Our brain has been developed in a way that we have been able to explore methods to make life easier in many situations. Thousands of things have improved, people live 3 times longer, for instance. But something is missing here, and even having all this we will never feel completely full-filled.
Inside, even if I have to convince all of you one by one, I will say that all we are in the end is wild and free forms of life, as any existing animal on the Earth is. Special animals, I must say, but the essence that constitutes us is not prepared to live life in the way we are doing, and this causes so many personal problems that never existed going back into the past.
What I want to say with that? I’m against progress? Not at all. I’m against creating false needs. Let’s give an applause to doctors and teachers of any kind. Let’s give an applause to all the people who has contributed in creating everything that in some way can improve the health and knowledge of individuals.
Now that we have all this… Don’t you think we have gone a step too far? Improving health is one thing, and living in an unrealistic world full of unnecessary commodities is another.
The idea of living in a campervan is something that many people have applied in their life. Possibly one day they began thinking a bit like this, possibly they were already born there and it’s the life they have always had. Whichever the cause, living in a camper is absolutely possible and allows you specially one thing. Be in contact with life and move to wherever you want, alone or with your loved ones.
We hate difficulties, and we don’t understand that difficulties are what make us really grow up, mature. Difficulties give us a prove that we are alive, and the extreme comfort of nowadays developed society has made us create problems that never existed before! Go into a campervan and you will discover what I am talking about. You will see how all the problems you now think are an enormous barrier in front of you do never come back to your mind, as you have new other things in which to think about. Probably, you will find your past problems stupid.
Of course there are some things that can be more difficult of this life, but at same time, with all the developments of the modern world, you can accommodate quickly a lifestyle that falls in between. Select your main needs, real needs, and live with them. A typical sentence possibly, but happiness comes from inside, not from outside, even if some special external events can make us specially enjoy. But in the end, we are on our own. We are individuals. And the unit must be happy by itself, whatever it happens around.
After so many nationalism problems that the world has today, I can give only one answer: I am a citizen of the world. Be a citizen of the world, feel nature as your land, from deserts to green fields, from mountains to beautiful beaches. The most amazing thing in life is no longer a glass skyscraper. The most amazing thing in life is every single breath you can take deep inside, that makes you ready for the next one.
