It’s important we get prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres any time, anywhere, and at any circumstances. Although the majority of us live in an environment where internal conflicts and wars are somehow not so close, dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive people and behaviours requires us to be ready for facing and dealing with anything before us. That’s why it’s important to learn how to survive outside civilisation, where danger and threats aren’t limited to facing and dealing with minds in suffering. Inside a Jungle, a desert, or any other place where traces of civilisation are little or non-existent, the restrainment of resources (e.g., food and fresh water), as well as the presence of other animals in the surroundings (e.g., spiders, big snakes, jaguars, lions, tigers, and so on)---which may see us as a prey—become big concerns far more urgent than dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive presence of minds in suffering in the surroundings. Thus, the moment we learn how to connect to nature and live peacefully alongside other animals, making an a priori hostile environment into our sweet home, it’s the moment we understand that dealing with other minds in suffering who consider themselves as superior race is far more challenging than living outside civilisation, even if we’ve little or no experience doing that.
Embracing darkness, chaos, and hatred culture are by far the worst mistakes a person can make during their entire life journey. Dishonesty, dishonour, and deception are the fuel of a chaotic behaviour where contamination may be already at place without a person even noticing. Water pollution, food poisoning, negative side-effects derived from huge doses of chemicals released to the atmosphere, all of them representing a hidden adversary we need to deal with every single day: the unplanned, dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive way of life within what we call civilisation.
We need to get prepared. We may not be fictional characters such as He-Man or She-ra, who hold a sword of power to defend themselves and innocent lives from the evil forces of darkness, although we’ve an unlimited power deep within, which is ready to be used the moment we keep consciousness at hand.
Let’s acquire as much knowledge as we can, getting either intimidated or afraid of the presence of darkness in the surroundings no more. In the worst-case scenario, as conscious beings who know what really happens in the present moment, we just need to get back to our origins, establishing a strong yet peaceful posture to live a joyful life outside civilisation if, and only if, there’s no other conscious way of walking the path towards a meaningful life.
