Why it's Important that We Connect with Nature

Why it's Important that We Connect with Nature

What if society were more like nature?  What if instead of trying to compete with other for who’s children are on the best sports team and who has the best job, expensive car, cleanest house, we saw what other people needed?  What if we helped each other selflessly like the trees in the forest and when we looked at each other we saw the beauty of life instead of judging a difference?   What if instead of creating excuses for why we deserve more than another person we took only what we needed?  If we were more like nature, would we treat each other differently?  Would we care for our planet differently?  Would we share our resources more effectively if we thought about our survival through future generations?  It would benefit us all to spend more time in wildness of nature, to feel more closely connected with it, and to see ourselves through nature’s lens.
