“Our incredible bewilderment (wilderness separation) blinds us from seeing that our many personal and global problems primarily result from our assault of and separation from the natural creation process within and around us. Our estrangement from nature leaves us wanting,and when we want there is never enough. Our insatiable wanting is called greed. It is a major source of our destructive dependencies and violence.”
Michael J. Cohen, Reconnecting With Nature: Finding Wellness Through Restoring Your Bond With the Earth

“humans have a global benchmark-standard of conduct that called humanity”
Aditia Rinaldi
