About us and the environment?

Question

IF A MAN CAN`T STAND UP FOR HIMSELF, HIS KIND, ANIMALS AND LIVING NATURE, HOW CAN HE BE CALL A MAN?!! EVEN AN ANIMAL KNOWS BETTER!

Answer 1

I understand what your saying, but, think of it the other way. Man kills animals, plants, and other people because either they want food or land. But, an animal also kills other animal or plants for food, right? And they also fight each other for land, right? So man does all the things animals do, but they are worse, liken using bombs and things like that for land, but, if you think of it this way, man is not  that bad!!

Answer 2

This is the reason, I've been calling a lot of names lately,  namely: common polluted swine, when referring to GW nonbelievers

Answer 3

here's the thing that many people dont understand: man is an animal. we are animals, we have just advanced. we're incredibly stupid, which is why many people dont see us as animals. but down to a science, we walk on land, brethe oxygen, and have animal cells. there are only 2 living things on this earth: plants and animals. we are an incredibly violent race, which is why we kill ouselves and other animals. though are ranking is 3rd most intelligent animal, if u ask me we should be at the bottom. the other animals of the world didnt destroy the earth, but we did.

Answer 4

You are right, because animals don't have their heads full of concepts and opinions that cloud their perception.  

The problem is that many people don't understand the delicate balance that nature is.

Nor the interdependency between species in the earths ecosystems. Including the human species.

Our world view is flawed.  We have arrived at a mechanistic view of the universe that sees everything, including ourselves as just stuff.

The universe and ourselves are infinitely more complex and strange than this world view allows us to see.  The end result too much materialism.

This mechanistic view is also called reductionism.

And even our religions sometimes don't help.

As one observer said, and I am paraphrasing here;  our scientific reductionist thinkers and fundamentalist religious people both see an earth devoid of sacredness.  the reductionist because he can't percieve or concieve of anything sacred.

And the fundamentalist, because he only sees heaven or the sacred in some afterlife, often with the view that nature is allied with evil.

That's how the church turned the Pagan nature God- Pan into the image of the devil.  To them, anything of the earth is of Satans realm.

But as Jesus said; ( and I may not have every word exact)  

" the kindom of heaven is laid out upon the earth and men don't see it."

But people with higher consciousness do, and they are without exception, environmentalists.

That's because they see the whole, the big picture.  That's what higher consciousnes means.

They all know that we are all one and that all life is one.

A good analogy is when U.S. astronauts first went into space, and saw the whole picture, saw the oneness that is earth.  Rusty Sweiker, (sp?) an astronaut ,talked about this insight.

By definition, higher consciousness percieves from a higher perspective, a more inclusive and holistic perspective.  

Reality is a perception, if you don't believe that,

but are open to new ideas, I suggest reading the books of Fred Alan Wolf Phd, especially,

"The Spiritual Universe".  He writes about quantum physics, spirituality and the nature of reality.

Quantum physics describes a universe that is anything but mechanistic.

For example;  Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg are two of the founders of quantum physics.  

Heisenberg was once interviewed, and asked;

"What was it like the day you met Niels Bohr?"

To which he replied;  "That was the day that I realized, that atoms are not things."

Food for thought, no?

Answer 5

I think animals are superior to man.  Man needs to learn from the animals.
