(I’m reposting here one of the most important articles on my blog. This is what I consider to be my life mission, what I’ve been thinking about and striving for since a very young age, namely life in fullness and an intelligent, logical way of life. I had seen at the age of 5 that humanity had lost this. So, in a short and succinct form, here’s what I consider to be the best solution to our civilizational problems. For more details, see my book The Philosophy of Nature).
There’s one thing we can almost all agree on: today’s ecological, geopolitical and social problems are enormous, and threaten the health and future not only of humankind, but of all life on earth.

A reader is asking why mosquitoes, horse flies, ticks and other biting insects exist. It’s a fact that for those who are far from nature, or who visit nature only occasionally these insects can be a real nuisance. In certain circumstances they can even be dangerous.

Blue Eagle, I have a question about gardening. Many people nowadays are willing to have a proper garden, with fruit and vegetables grown with environment-friendly methods. But then, they encounter many problems, suchas parasitic insects, midges or worms devouring their salads, and they finally have to use pesticides, which causes their gardens to be no longer ecological. I think Anastasia, when she evokes the best way to tend ones’ garden, doesn’t mention those problems, thus the related solutions. I know you have your own garden and spend much time tending it. Do you sometimes have to tackle such problems, and what advice could you give to those people, who have reasons to feel discouraged?
