In a world dominated by logos and brandsa surprising video highlights a different and profoundly significant reality. A 7 year old girl, in fact, demonstrated global brands such as Apple, Nike or Playstation.
The knowledge he had, however, was much more important: he could distinguish plants and knew what their healing properties were. Tepa, matico and myrtle, plants rich in natural benefits, are for her symbols of wisdom and connection with the earth.
This video invites us to reflect on what really matters in life. In an era where children are often bombarded by advertising messages and induced to identify with consumer products, this little one reminds us of the importance of returning to the essentials.
The importance of educating new generations to true values
Knowing which brand of computer or cell phone is best may seem important, but knowing the healing properties of plants and how to use them to heal wounds and muscle pain has value much deeper and more lasting.
The little girl demonstrates an awareness that many adults have lost: nature not only sustains us physically, but is also a source of wisdom and healing. While consumerism pushes us to desire the latest gadget or the most fashionable dress, knowledge of plants and their uses connects us to a thousand-year tradition of respect and harmony with the environment.
The dialogue in the video is simple but powerful. The little girl responds with a confident “No” when asked about the names of the brands, but lights up when he talks about tepa, matico and myrtle, naturally explaining their medicinal uses. This difference in knowledge makes us understand how important it is to educate the new generations to recognize and enhance what nature offersrather than chasing ephemeral status symbols.
This footage is a powerful reminder: Are we preparing our children to recognize what is truly essential? The answer may lie in teaching them not only about brands, but also about understand the natural world, respect it and use it wisely.
