To me, Paganism means living in harmony with, and being an integral part of, nature. Or at least, as much as this is possible.
But absolutely EVERY 'thing' is, being, an integral part of 'nature'. If that 'being' or 'doing' is actually in harmony with nature or not is another thing.
Obviously, working, for money, is NOT actually living in harmony with nature, at all.
I agree that working for money, rather than as part of a community, is an artificial thing. And maybe one day I'll join such a community. I've been invited to join one, but again, I'm reluctant to give up my job.

But the word 'artificial' can infer and mean 'not natural', and as far as I am aware there is NOT a 'thing' that is 'unnatural'.
Unless, of course, ANY one would like to inform me of, and thus make me aware of, some 'thing', which is 'not natural' at all?

Why are you reluctant to give up what is NOT in harmony with nature, at all?

..apparently this thing called euthanasia.
That's not for me. I have my heart set on becoming a burden.
Compulsory for trolls like promethean and freely available to all. Most people would choose eunthanasia over being a burden to their loved ones. Who would want everyone you know hoping you will die soon?
