The Training Of O Free Free

virtual garden

Sometimes I wonder how virtual worlds will become increasingly attractive and "forward" than real.
Facebook is the new medium of mass communication in my opinion (as well as personnel who are most qualified to me) completely vacuous and empty, but which maintain contact between people separated by miles and years away.
And Facebook is responsible for a major waste of time in recent centuries: Farmville!
imagine that the readers of this blog there are those who play in Farmville, I also happened to play this new year. Funny, I must admit.
But will the professional bias, I could not help but see the negative aspect of this pastime.
Guttuso - Peasants at work
I remember when I went to work as a child (especially dig) in the garden of his grandfather, and how I enjoyed doing it, to turn as vegetables, to collect the beans and zucchini ...
And then I also find it an increasingly difficult and not fun as it increased my age.
At least now I think I was outside, I was sweating, I did it well. Now it seems that people have rediscovered the virtual Ortoterapia. No more dirty floor, no more smelly manure used as fertilizer, no more sweat!
You can grow their own field from the comfort of home or office. Where is the advantage of all this? Not to mention that the zucchini virtual mica eat ...

is not a defense of the past, is not just another hackneyed post claiming that it was better when it was worse, it is a simple observation of how the times change, and how healthy activities yield to they become lazy and fun activities to do without moving too much.

But the Ortoterapia would really be something useful. Instead of living a virtual space, we would live a real space, not made of boards, but people with whom to share time and conversation, a space and time using the fruits of which would be tangible, not virtual money.
I quote from the site http://clinicadellatimidezza.it/a_t/ortoterapia.htm " The ortoterapia includes the activity of gardening, growing plants and vegetables, those activities that enable the treatment of anxiety through the stimulation of the senses of touch, smell and sight. We all know what is good for a walk in the woods or in a city park when you are very stressed and tired: the simple view of trees and colorful flowers can also lift the morale of the sick, the disabled and the depressed. "

would allow to regain space and a different pace, to break the stress, to recover a contact with nature is not mediated by the plastic. Here in my town there is an oasis of Wisdom, gardens available to retired people mostly (but not all), they do just that: keep in touch and share. really. In the face of Facebook. And do not share gifts like cows pink with a bow or gift packages sbrilluccicosi: share zucchini , eggplant, lettuce, tomatoes, time, effort, human relationships.
Can it be so easy to grow a vegetable garden on the computer and no one should be to place your garden? Or engage in a garden? And let's not blame the time that there is ... Suffice once or twice a week. A half-hour lunch break. Two plants on the balcony. And maybe, discover, like a Zen garden, which the garden is a reflection of outward due care of your inner garden.
