As part of nature, we have an ecological relationship within ourselves, with others, and with our environments. Our first social environment is when we are infants. It is our relationship with our infant caregivers. It is from this, that our heart becomes the centre of our human ecology.
We are part of nature & not outside of, or separate from it.
Nature is “all” of Life. Everything that exists is a part of nature.
The belief that nature is separate from us is connected to beliefs about what is “civilized” and what is “barbaric” and “wild”.
Beliefs are conclusions that come from assumptions about life.
The belief that nature is separate from us is also connected to the idea that of nature as something childlike, because it is seen as untamed.
In this belief humans are the civilized, so nature does not include us. And being civilized, we are “better” than the rest of all that exists. So much so, that the word “humanity” has taken on the meaning of being the civilized. And being called an animal is an insult.
The description of the civilized and “evolved” from the childlike state, suggests that we then have authority over the rest of all life. It is similar to an idea that we are the adults in control of the children, where nature is the child.
Nature is “all” of life. Everything that exists “is” nature, including us. There is nothing about nature or life, that is defective.
The word nature means “birth” or “to be born”. Everything that exists first has to be “born”, for it “to” exist. Therefore, everything that exists “is” nature, including us.
Being a part of nature, the places we build to live together, are similar to other animals. Our homes, villages, cities, and relationships are in common to homes and the organizing of our shared resources as other animals.
Nature relies on relationship. What we call ecology is about this relationship. Relationship is found throughout all of life.
There is nothing about life or nature, that is defective or wrong. And there is nothing about us that is defective or wrong.
We cannot get to self-love starting from the belief that we are defective.
