Ancient Greek Styled Shutters That Disconnect Us From Life
Across much of the world, the ancient Greek styled shutters, that we can all picture in our minds, are used to help us to escape from the trials and tribulations of life itself. I feel like we often close our eyes to such history, conveniently masking our vision, using blinds to block our vision, even in our homes we block out the sun with shutters and hide behind curtains for fear. But it is fear itself that we have to confront if we are going to see clearly the obstacles which await us, and by our own efforts allow the solutions to be heard.
As unfortunate as it might sound, none of us could ever be in the enviable position whereby we would be able to cushion ourselves from life altogether. Yes, we can make every effort to attempt to block out the world outside, but alas, life will always have other ways of coming to find you.
In many ways, when people opt to pursue this attitude toward life, we can usually understand their mentality. After all, is it just me or has life tended to get more and more complicated over recent years? I am in no doubt that the main reason behind this is the fact that there are just far too many human beings roaming this planet today, than there were even twenty or thirty years ago.
It’s definitely a dog eat dog world out there today and in order to get ahead of your neighbour, you have got to keep your eye on the ball at all times and make sure you outshine your competition always.
As soon as you take your eye off that ball, for even a split second, some ruthless individual is completely ready to jump in your spot and claw their way forward in life. But what can be done about this and the fact that life today is just so intimidating to a number of people? Asides from making every effort to realise an immense reduction in the human population growth - probably not very much.
With such a strong potential human gene pool, at nature’s disposal, Darwin himself hit the nail on the head with his theory of natural selection. In other words, nature will find its own way of weeding-out the weaker members of our own species and this, in turn, will see the stronger individuals survive and thrive in the harsher environment that awaits our future.
