Technology stands in the Way of Nature. Distancing ones Self from Technology is
a healthy alternative to Technology. Walk and talk with a friend in the
context of Nature. What has been
built to hold us together, seems to be dividing us from one another. There
is always hope
in Nature; and there may be some hope in Technology as well. The Human path
is always
a long an difficult journey, because we are Human.
