Our ingrained disconnect from other living organisms on this planet, that has been passed down through the generations of those attempting to live a more 'civilized' life, has birthed our assumption that we are above or better than everything else here.

This has been a thing of mine for so long, thank you for bringing light to such an important concept. Until we as humans decide to live in unison and in cooperation with this planet, as opposed to trying to control it, we'll continually find the current mess we now reside in. We have so much to learn from nature, and your post does that beautifully! Thank you :)
