I think we actually punish children out of their relationship with their bodies... we categorically separate mind and body and emotion and intellect.
Philosophy means nothing unless it is connected to birth, death, and the continuance of life. Anytime you are going to build a society that works, you have to begin from nature and the body.
The mind can forget what the body, defined by each breath, subject to the heart beating, does not.
Society, like nature, is one body, really.
War starts in the mind, not in the body.
