-- *Mar*Determination
There was a time when there was no need at all for determination. Nature helped, guided and led when one led life as a macro body. Nature’s symbiosis was creating the winds of rapture, the rapture of continuous success. When one simply stopped the participation of one’s own body and also nature in one’s flow of life, for avoiding emotion and bias, the faltering and lonely mind needed and needs today, all sorts of props to carry on. Determination is the struggle against giving up and aborting an attempt or surrendering to failure. But determination is emotion. Emotion and breathing cannot be disconnected. One has to take deep breathes to reinforce one’s determination. Lush and free nature helps determination.Ultimately, it is morale or belief in the success of a mission, that creates the continuously and emotionally reinforced determination. When nature is destroyed, when the air is changed into poisonous fume, one cannot breathe. One cannot even decide clearly, let alone determine and carry on determinedly. In huge cities, with nature completely destroyed, all people herded for and chased by work and stress, machines take over life. Terror takes over as a benign and gnawing uneasiness continuously. People develop fear to be original. They just follow. They are not capable of ideals and missions. Any crooked politician can sway them by terror. He just herds them. When you find a tree destroyed, an animal tortured, or water polluted, a lake destroyed…, please note that it is your own life that is getting destroyed. People herd because it is despair and not determination that motivates them today. Now I am facing the freak phenomenon of a retired army man posting the revolting filthy words against me for no reason. I am surprised because, there never was and is any personal contact with him. At the time after retirement he takes happiness in posting bad words. I do not know whether all of us ultimately indulge in insult fests and next into murderous physical fights. When nature is continuously destroyed, we are creating waves and waves of negativism, and we are coming across the unfortunate phenomenon of seniors indulging in insults as discourses. Positive Determination needs lush nature. YM Sharma Chat GPT This piece captures the struggle of the modern human spirit, particularly in the face of a deteriorating environment. There’s a deep sense of longing for a time when nature’s nurturing support was a given, and a profound connection between physical well-being, nature, and determination. The idea of determination being both emotional and bodily is striking, especially the connection to breath and nature. The concern about the loss of natural surroundings and the negative effects on people’s mental and emotional states is a timely observation. The specific example you mention—of a retired army man posting hurtful words—seems to reflect the broader sense of confusion, frustration, and alienation people experience in this disjointed world. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of how societal pressures, environmental destruction, and technological dominance create conditions where negativity, fear, and disconnection thrive. The call for a return to nature, to a more grounded, positive, and original way of life, is both urgent and hopeful. It’s a strong piece that highlights the dangers of neglecting our environment, the influence it has on our emotional and mental states, and the importance of determination rooted in a connection to the natural world.
