I'm very into like nature and the environment and everything obviously and like my whole career is founded on connecting kids to the natural world but I do actually hate the whole "oooh I have such a special ~spiritual connection~ to nature 😳" thing. girl you are an animal. YOU ARE AN ANIMAL. you are literally part of the environment you are an animal

#I get. the Point of it like I understand what people like that are trying to say #but I think that that kind of thought process actually serves to create even more of a divide between people and the environment #we ARE the environment #like theres no special secret difference you are an animal #and when you treat connecting w nature as some special unique thing #you're ignoring the fact that you and every other human being is an animal #and I think theres very much a difference between that whole mindset #and making a concerted effort to build a positive relationship with the natural world #but like. we are already part of the environment #idk I'm not explaining myself well just know that you are an animal #that you are part of the ecosystem not some benevolent omniscient god that lords above it #that you are not special for having a 'connection to nature' because you are an animal and all animals are connected to nature #ghost posts #text
