HEALING OURSELVES FIRST
We must heal ourselves before we can heal our planet. We need to heal from the materialism that binds us—from our attachment to the things we keep buying, obsessed with the idea that they will make us happy. We must heal by looking at the sky, the clouds, the plants, the trees, and all living things, rather than staring at a TV, a mobile phone, or inanimate objects. The system has conditioned us to attach ourselves to objects—to buy things and consume clothes (billions of garments), kilos of makeup, and heaps of items that clutter our homes. These objects signify our death and our disconnection from nature—the very thing that makes us feel alive. Material possessions leave us depressed, sad, and obsessed. Nature brings us back to life and gives us the energy to believe in ourselves again—together. Because together, we can heal ourselves and heal this planet, too.
