The big problem of our modern society is that we feel that we are separated from the nature. But it's just the opposite. We are interrelated and our DNA is the same. And only when human beings understand that, the nature will not be obstacle.

In the rush of today's world, and with more than half of us now living in cities, the majority of people are less and less connected with the spectacle of nature.

Perhaps we too seldom reflect how much the life of Nature is one with the life of man, how unimportant or indeed merely seeming, the difference between them.

The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality.

I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth.

The more humanity advances, the more it is degraded.

Nature is based on harmony. So it says if we want to survive and become more like nature, then we actually have to understand that it's cooperation versus competition.

There are still some natural forces that everybody understands. Technology and industry have distanced people from nature and magic and human values.

The further you get from nature, the less happy you are; and the nearer, the more exultant you become over the world and all that there is in it.

Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.
