the earth does not love us
neither is "she" anybody's mother
nature does not love any group of people more than any other
or less or at all.
nature is indifferent about the human species
one piece of evidence for this is that nature would just as soon destroy
and kill as it would nurture support and provide
for nature these are all default modes
and they do not connect to emotion as we understand it
the human need to have a connection
to their surroundings is what bolsters this ancient reoccurring narrative
due to the fact that so many on this planet
have decided to see natural resources as primarily ways to become wealthy
regardless of long term consequences
it is clear that the need to have a story about nature that includes love and sacredness is not
universal. some argue the planet is being exploited by other life forms that bring beings from other planets to exploit humans. until claims like these have been confirmed or proven false, they are just claims.
lately when I am present in natural surroundings, I am not convinced of the much cited and referenced love. I see indifference.
and biological phenomenon.
