You might think of us as humans and of our homes as cities. Animals are far out there in the far away forest or oceans or mountains or wherever. This is of course true but, if you think about it, we humans are in the middle of our nature.
That we humans, in fact are animals is something most people rather not think about. And if we admit to being animals we must be a bit better than other animals because we are intellectual. This might be true, but what also is true is that we are as dependent of nature as any other animal. Everything around us: furniture, clothes, food, water, medicine, building materials for our houses, even plastic comes from nature to begin with.
Without nature as a resource for all of this we wouldn’t survive. We are part of nature and the more we fight it the more problems we run into. Acceptance. Live and let live. Do I sound out there? Well thank God today is Thursday Thoughts!
