Why do I say this?
What history which has been recorded in the history or passed down by the culture of mankind indicated a symbiosis of mankind and Earth itself. Animals and plants play a more direct role in the humans’ communities then. Man was never far off from nature.
Then technology came. Automobiles and trains replaced the horses, buffalos, and mules. Abattoirs removed the majority of humans to hunt for their own food and to kill in order to survive. In large, Mankind lost their ever-constant contact with nature itself.
The one thing which got me pondering was the implication of Mankind losing that close link with Nature. We may have lost precious lessons which Nature can inspire – to preserve, to appreciate life, and to appreciate companionship.
Is the implication apparent in today’s society? Do some of us do outrageous things just to gain recognition from others? Are we are detached in a way which can be shown in some of our outrageous treatment to animals?
Is what I say too far-fetched? If I am a fool to ask such questions, so it shall be.
