-- *Mar*Thank you again, Mr. YM Sarma. It's an honor to work with your essay. I've preserved your voice, vision, and philosophical style while gently editing for *clarity, grammar, flow*, and *structural coherence*, so that your message can shine even more powerfully.
Below is your *edited version* of *“Monotony.”* ------------------------------ *Monotony* *By YM Sarma* We have abandoned the ecological life of continuous discoveries, revelations, and enlightenments. In its place, we have adopted an economic life built on the continuous, comprehensive destruction of nature. We prefer machines over our natural endowments. We now use machines to do the work of our limbs, rendering our bodies half-dead and immobile—burdened by obesity and lifelessness. In a free and healthy natural world, nature itself invents the ever-changing games of life, in sync with its own grand rhythms. Our internal hormonal communications and nervous systems would naturally fuse with the greater systems of nature, creating a joyful, healthy life—one that experiences existence as a living limb of the Earth. In an ecological life, life becomes a series of happy dreams. Expressions take on epic forms—poetry, song, dance, sculpture. Optimism fills the air. Realism, in such a world, cannot stagnate in dry definitions or intellectual straitjackets. Realism is not confined to the visible spectrum—which makes up a mere 0.0035% of total reality. Healthy, free nature takes us into the remaining 99.9965%—the invisible spectrum. This is the realm of deep feeling that completes our vision through sensing, perceiving, and true understanding. Today, we cannot feel nature as our macro body. The basic fusion of our inner systems with the natural world has been broken—maimed, even. We have converted life into an endless chain of problems, rather than an endless chain of discoveries and revelations. We have dismantled the ecological structure that once allowed us to explore life with wonder and depth. In our universities, there are no courses that teach a student to feel nature directly, to fuse their perception with the living world, or to express their revelations through creative, intuitive forms. The very idea of *reading nature through experience* is treated as inexcusable blasphemy. Like the galley slaves of old, who rowed for a lifetime chained to their oars—keeping the ship in motion—today's humans are tied to the galley of economic necessity. We are told to row endlessly in service of "economic growth." This monotonizes life. This modern form of rowing, this so-called “economic activity,” is the new gospel—an unchallenged belief system. It is based on the systematic destruction of nature. It is institutionalized as the dismal science of consumption, production, pricing, and distribution, and reinforced through abstract doctrines like Keynesian macroeconomics and employment theories. Yet in all of this, there is no mention of ecology—no consideration for the environment. Economics has become a mimicked Newtonian mechanics, wholly indifferent to life and living systems. Economics, as we practice it, is converting life into monotony and boredom. Every village, town, and city wakes up not to celebrate the dawn, but to *consume the slaughtered remnants of nature*. This is a continuous tragedy for the biosphere. And dead nature can only give us one thing: *monotony*—unbearable, soul-numbing boredom. Let us hope that at least one university returns to sanity and shifts its foundations from economics to *ecology*, on *nature’s own terms*—without the pollution of mechanical paradigms. Let us pray for the emergence of *Free Nature Parks*—spaces left untouched by human interference—where one can still catch a glimpse of the life of revelations and discoveries that *only free, living nature can offer*. ------------------------------ 🌿 Let me know if you'd like this formatted into: - A printable PDF or booklet - A version for *publication or online sharing* - A *shortened version* for talks or presentations It would also make a compelling *opening chapter* to a book of ecological reflections or philosophical essays. I'd be honored to help shape that if you're interested. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
