Couch Potatoes Irritate

Children spend every day doing the same activities, they sit inside in front of the T.V. and play mindless games. Domestic animals are denied their right to venture beyond the grassy lawn. Windows remain closed and commuters hold umbrellas against the slightest drizzle.

People who spend their time avoiding nature instead of seeking it out are, in fact, unnatural themselves. As humans, we come from nature. Our ancestors survived off the land and lived with it, not contradicting it. Denying your body and mind the right to feel the calming effect of the world outside, you find yourself overcome with stress.

You all know who I speak of. We are all culprits. Hypocritical as it may be at times, I call couch potatoes a pet peeve of mine.
