“I personally think we should stop striving. For what? Where are we trying to go? For what reason? To what end? Where is that taking us? The hustle and bustle of striving i feel is what created our fast paced consumeristic culture. The idea that we should always be striving to improve ourselves and the world is a direct statement that we don’t trust the natural world and we think there is some inherent flaw in it that we must take action to make it livable for us, as if nature doesn’t and isn’t already doing that. subconsciously applying this delusional view about the world to our experience then actions extracts all the mystifying beauty and the divinity that is the sacred worlds eminence of everything that is. I believe that is why we are seeing the problems we alone created today from an over emphasization of needing to improve nature and our experience when it doesn’t need it.

Striving is exhausting, distracting from nature, and I personally don’t want to sell my spirit to the conviction of constantly being in strain to always be going to the next objective, then the next, never without stopping to smell the sweet roses of life? What have we produced while striving other than strained faces, working at paces and periods of times that would exhaust a bull. We are crystalized in our demanding activity. Unable to smell lifes sweeter smell and to see all the other present aspects of nature. For what? To do it again, and repeat this strain? For if life were truly just tireless painful work, what is the point of living if there isn’t any type of enjoyment there? What makes life worth living? This is something we should investigate in ourselves. We never have time to see the world for how it truly is because we are so distracted by these “goals”, of not only bettering the world but also with bettering ourselves. What a worthy excuse for a distraction. hah! It distracts us from what we know subconsciously in ourselves, what we really should do right here, right now: What we avoid and don’t face in ourselves..

Our own dissatisfaction with nature, our life, our place in it and our choice to feel this way about it. When dissatisfied, we desire to be somewhere else, and to get there we strive. Not saying all striving is bad, but it shouldn’t be on our daily plates, it should be in the medicine cabinet when the time is truly needed. Conclusion: i believe we arrived at this need to change nature and ourselves because of our faulty underlying view on the reality of nature. So that naturally produced the symptoms we see wrong with the world today. Big factories pumping fumes out, piles of garbage, garbage in the ocean. This came from striving. Everyones striving for something. And that faulty view is that natural reality needs improving, is what got us here in the first place. So i wont use the word “strive” i will say “focus”.

So if i were to say one thing we should focus on, is our underlying world beliefs coming from yourself, no one excluded, because that orients our perspectives on how we see the world, and what it means to us and from that how we act towards it. Not only does it influence how we engage and affect the world, but also how you affect yourself internally, and that is the quality of your experience of life which branches out into the actions that affect the world to what it is now. When our inner views are oriented in accordance with nature our actions will naturally be aimed towards regenerative and sustainable practices. Which leads me to my second more practical answer. A constant aim towards becoming 100% sustainable in everyway, and striving is not sustainable.”
