Better understanding of the natural world not only enhances all of us as human beings, but can also be harnessed for the better good, leading to improved health and quality of life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must learn to understand humanity better so that we can create an environment that is more beneficial to people, more rewarding, more pleasant to experience.
We assume that everything's becoming more efficient, and in an immediate sense that's true; our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources.
The greater good is achieved by not only telling people what they need to know, but also filling them with a sense of empathy and love.
We like to believe that, in our lifetime, the human condition is improving.
It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
I think having nature be a part of people's lives helps all of us see ourselves as part of something larger.
Though some choices may slow our journey, every path we take gives us more familiarity with how our actions affect the world around us, giving us more opportunities to learn how to help ourselves and others.
But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.
Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in this world. There is only this life, so live wonderfully and meaningfully.
Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it.
