Greetings!
One thing about life is that for us to live a healthy life, the environment must be okay and clean. When I say clean, it might not about the dirt we see all days, though, these dirts contributes mostly to the outbreak of diseases and viruses in the environment, but beyond that, there's things that contributed to a making a healthy environment which I would be discussing with us in the course of this write up.
Now, let me delve into discussing the topic properly. To me, when talking about a healthy environment, it's beyond environmental dirt, but before I talk about other things that make a healthy and peaceful environment for me, I would briefly talk about the dirt aspect.
As we all know that healthy is wealth, one aspect of our environment that has been endangering lives is that of living in a dirty environment and I believe to stay healthy always, one must live in a clean and dirt free zone as this would help and protect us from all kinds of disease and germs which would later help us to live long.
Just two days ago, I went for a church seminar and at the seminar, a doctor was brought in to talk to us about those prevalent diseases in town today. So, as he started talking, the man said, cleanliness is Godliness and that most of the sudden death happening around us is not an arrow as we used to believe, but our unhealthy living.
He said atimes, we just buy things by the roadside to eat without washing. He said because of the dirty environment we are living in, those things bought without washing might have been contaminated with bacteria and we buying it without washing it can transmit that bacteria into our body. He advised us to always be healthy in whatever we are eating and also, to keep our environment clean.
So, as regards the topic which is about a healthy environment, we should all make sure we live in a clean environment and also, eat clean. We should wash our hands every time, make our houses clean and conducive to live in. Wash our plates and our kitchen utensil regularly, even when we have washed them, we should make sure we rinse it again before putting them to use as cockroaches and other bacteria carrier insects might have played on them. So, rinsing them again would help us to maintain a healthy living and environment
But beyond living in a clean and dirt free environment, another definition of a healthy and peaceful environment of mine is that environment where love prevails. I personally have never witnessed or lived in a place where there's no love as such. I lived and grew up with my parents and in my entire life living with them, I never saw them fighting, but recently, I moved to a new apartment and in that apartment, there's this family or let me say couple that fights almost everyday. On a daily basis, this husband and wife fight and course themselves. They chase themselves around the compound with cutlasses and the wife will be throwing stones at the husband.
These were their daily family activities. Though I have tried it once to get them separated from their fighting but all was to no avail. In fact, on this sad day, I was nearly injured, if not for my smartness. So, since then, I have decided to be looking at them from afar.
Though, I'm not happy and comfortable seeing them fighting all the time as this has been affecting me healthwise, but since we in the neighborhood have tried our best to make things work out fine between them but not really working out, we have all decided to leave them to their fate.
Now, I'm already planning to leave the house and get another peaceful and healthy environment. I need a conducive and healthy environment to live in. I'm tired of this toxic and unhealthy environment of everyday chaos, uproot and violence.
Though, if anyone had once told me about family upheaval causing uneasiness and unhealthy feelings and living in the environment, I would have disagreed with such a fellow, but me witnessing in a daily basis has brought me to the understanding that family upheaval and uproar is one of the major issues affecting our healthy living. To me, it endangers healthy living and makes the environment unhealthy to live in.
So, the definition of a healthy environment is far beyond living in a dirt free environment, though this constitutes a larger percent of living and staying healthy in a healthy environment, but there's other aspects of our daily lives that can cause more havoc than dirt around. So, living together in love can help promote and sustain a healthy living in a healthy environment, but where there's no love, there can be no healthy environment nor healthy living.
