Do we know how to live? || Neem Candies

Hacking down forests is a compulsion with us. You cannot have the kind of civilization and values that we have and not hack down forests. Given the way we shop in the markets, we will necessarily hack down forests. Given the way we choose brands, given the way we choose companies to work for, given the way we choose people to be with, given the way we choose somebody to mate with, we will necessarily hack down forests.

And that’s what people find a bit of a stretch. They say, “No, no, that is not true! Kindly don’t say that such intimate and personal things as relationships are related to and in the same plane as the outbreak of a pandemic!” These two things are in the same plane, and we will have to humbly accept that.

We do not know what to do, and therefore we do not know what to eat, and therefore we do not know how to marry, and therefore we do not know how to work. We do not know how to live.
