Learn Natural Living from Cave Men.
The best natural living example is bound to be … Cave Men. From the environment point of view, they didn’t have a choice.
But what about natural living from the psychological side?
Cave men sat around a fire and shared their meals. That is about as natural as can be. These were great forming moments - a time for education, for passing on traditions, for community and family bonding.
We have always liked to share our meals. We don’t really think that they are moments to strengthen ties, to learn and to teach, to share, to bond but there isn’t much difference with the cave man. Sure the noises and way of eating will be different, but the interaction will serve the same purpose.
We like to share meals, to eat together and exchange news and simply to have a good conversation.
I learned a lot from my great grand mother who was born in the 19th century; a bit of history, ethics, hard work. I learned to respect and admire others.
Have you noticed when you have friends over for dinner everybody begins to gravitate to the kitchen? Perhaps we are just doing what the cave man did.
The point is that this near unconscious behavior is as natural as they come.
The benefits are easily seen, especially for a family with children, more so with teenagers.
These are rare, and natural, moments that allow for:
- bonding
- problem solving
- passing traditions
- educating (about life, how to conduct oneself, ethics, etc.)
- humor and fun
- helping each other
And all these give a sense of security, of well being and family pride. It helps you and your family know you are loved and that you love others.
Above all it boosts your emotional health and that strengthens your body’s immune system, so overall you are healthier.
Learn from the cave man for healthy and natural living.
