Last Friday I was at the journal club. We were discussing a
paper on obesity when, as usual the topic began to sway as a usual ( at the
direction of dr. burke) the causes of obesity then lastly, the last time that
we felt at peace or were satisfied, most people who gave an example, gave an
example where they were in a nature setting. One person said the last time they
were completely satisfied and at peace was when he was fishing, anther said it
was when she was driving the mountains. I was left thinking about this novel
concept, maybe nature has a therapeutic effect on us. We are not built for
modern life, our eyes were designed to see thing in the distance, not inches in
front of us. We need sunlight not florescent light to synthesize vitamin d . maybe
those people were wrong, wilderness/nature
has sacred powers not because it is a foreign place, but because it id
better for our selves than the modern world we have created.
