The transience of modern days and times, as well as the perception of the dizzying nature of the immediate future, are realities that we all experience, against which we try to position ourselves, either by accepting a gruesome social scenario characterized by instability or somehow resisting this vortex that pulls us towards unknown, but glimpsed panoramas, that attracts humanity irreparably conditioned by its technological creations that are increasingly taking control of everyday life and determining the future.

The human being, traditionally understood as responsible for his decisions, is now at the mercy of his creation, which is a space where definitive limitations of free will are created, which not only limit the will of people, but also trace and impose paths to be followed, which are those that arise from the logic of science and technology, which only go through mathematical processes, without philosophical or humanistic reflection affecting their equations, formulas or algorithms.

The sense of emptiness arising from this evident vulnerability, which may be common to some or perhaps all, generated a sense of loss and anxiety due to the dissolution of the referents with which people have always associated. The concept of the mother’s womb as a lost paradise is consistent with the idea I am developing. Birth is the beginning of a new reality, marked by pain, insecurity and death, circumstances contrary to the harmony and protection of man in his mother’s womb. Many today see the past as a better time.

The longing for nature imposes itself as a constant of today’s culture. Many in the world, in order to face or be with technology without succumbing to its limiting one-dimensionality, have focused their lives on traditional ways of being, connected to nature and cultural practices that they consider to be better than today’s. In international contemporary media production, above all, there is a significant increase in shows with content related to the return to manual and ancestral.

The brilliance and practicality of nature is appreciated by more and more people. The simplicity of traditional customs is imitated by many people who value skill, wisdom and rigor in the use of resources, as well as the simplicity of the way of life or the moments they share with other human beings in dimensions other than the everyday and professional, often characterized by stress, haste, competition and the desire to win at all costs.

Return, bring back, restore, preserve, preserve or care are some of the verbs we use every day to talk about existence and its circumstances. Also, for many, these are the ways of life that are practiced, because they are considered the most reasonable and prudent for their own and the common benefit that results from them. (OR)
