The Power and Mystery of Mother Nature
I sure wish there were a way to get everyone on Earth to spend the two minutes required to watch the incredibly powerful video presented below. As I wrote on Facebook to a friend who had posted it, “I’ve never received a more beautiful and important message in my entire life.”
Hope you’ll enjoy.
Oh good grief !
Anthropomorphizing “Mother Nature” ! Well never mind, no doubt Julia Roberts was able to divine the wishes of “Mother Nature” by the use of her large collection of mystic “crystals” .
Why do these people need to portray “mother nature” as a wise benign motherly figure, indulgently tolerating mankind’s foibles ?
Why is it so hard to accept that there is no “Mother Nature” and outside of our own intelligence there is no master plan for natural harmony ?! The environment and evolution are simply random events and phenomenon that have no plan, no purpose, except the direction of human beings.
Only the human species makes plans, and is capable of implementing rational thought. Natural phenomenon are only beautiful or ugly according to our own aesthetic judgement and the level of benefit to our species.
The environment is our responsibility not because we are offending some mystic “natural spirit’ but because we are in charge of the planet and must decide the sort of environment in which we want to dwell.
The responsibility is ours, and ours alone.
I think that was her point. The last line: “I’m evolving. Are you?”
This seems to be a nice presentation that is part of a series with a common theme that nature does not need humanity but humanity needs nature. It is a powerful lesson.
Just today I came across this lesson and a new understanding through this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysa5OBhXz-Q This is also part of a series with another companion piece about whales.
