Disconnect

As I learn about environmental degradation that leads to the displacement and death of others, I wonder how any person can justify such an action. 

I have come up with a theory.

We have lost our roots

As a society we are completely disconnected from nature, people talk about going out "into nature," but what they don't realize is that they are nature; humans are not above natural processes; in fact when we mess with nature, we end up hurting ourselves. 

I think this applies to our relationship with others as well

Individualism is not working, 

we need to realize that our existence is connected and dependent.

We need to find ourselves.
