The thing about being foolish

People would not do foolish things if there was a better alternative.  So much foolishness happens as a result.  Off the cuff I would say that a natural life is needed to be healthy.  Now for centuries humans have drifted farther and farther away from the natural and not always able to remain natural as their created world mutates around them.  The future in the past might have appeared more progressive than it actually was.  How is it that we might have many foolish actions; our ability to adapt being grossly exaggerated and that includes the mental components to adapt in the first place.  As if our world we have created makes much of us strangers within it.  People wake up!
