NATURE
...is the sum of all being in the ecosphere including humans.
The word mostly gets used as a definition of everything outside of the human, which is a misconception and
suggests a division between human beings and the ecosphere. It romanticizes the environment as a neutral background. In this context, the notion of “Nature” is a barrier to the human understanding of the environment that stops us from finding our place in the ecosystem because it suggests that we are existing outside of it and takes away the feeling of belonging and responsibility.
