we feel too big for our own good
#i feel like one of the most important aspects of being a creature on this earth in this universe is to possess the ability to feel as much#an animal/a part of nature as any other flower or tree or creature. i feel feeling like a small part of a larger whole is very important to#this process. i think this used to be a very common human experience - in vast forests#staring at uncountable stars existing as a part of a seemingly unending space. somehow somewhere along the way our big became too small.#maybe it was the development of large cities. but when our big becomes so small compared to what it used to be#we may see ourselves as far larger than we used to in comparison. i think what used to be reverence for the vast is now synonymous with#existential dread and i think that mindset has been one of the worst things to happen to us and by extension to this planet.#we need to feel small and insignificant and that is not at all a bad thing. we need to maintain a good perspective of our place in this#world. i wish this was encouraged. i wish it was seen as important to go stand at the foot of a mountain at night in the cold#stare at its height. stare at the stars. feel how easily the cold could end everything. i think that would do everyone wonders.#we just really arent seperate from others.#i want to force every capitalist to float in space untethered for like 2 hours in complete silence.#the acknowledgement of the scale of our existence should be a point of deep respect and awe and unity but it has been treated as something#to feel isolated about. its been deemed existentially unhealthy. this has done so so much harm for us.
