My primary relationship to nature is I consider 'my' life to be nature itself, arising from nature, composed of nature and returning to nature. All things, physical, mental, spiritual, concepts of 'self', are merely nature. To regard oneself as nature is harmony, enlightenment and freedom from existential suffering.

OK - I am sorry I missed your meaning.

Sadly if the majority of people continue to releive themselvs of their self centeredness by bringing more self centered overly consumptive people with an infinate sense of entitlement onto this planet...the systems that support their 'selfless' act will collapse. I think we see this differently.

You may get more responses if you cut the crap in the begining.

Jane. "The systems support their 'selfless' act will collapse". I think we see this the same. "Infinite sense of entitlement". I think we see this the same. That it can be any other way? I think we see this differently. There will be some tough lessons before humanity can learn. Hopefully, the lesson will not be too tough but it could be.

[BarbarraBay]

Jane. You have misunderstood my meaning. It is important for people to free themselves from self-centredness. For most, having children is the only way. For folks like you and me, having children is not for us, however it is beneficial for us develop altruism. As one example, I sponsor three children in Africa. I am supporting 'your' malnourished children. It is the same as having children but different. It is empathy.
