For what?
-
Thinking your brother is a wolf.
-
I know that he isn't physically my brother... I'm speaking metaphorically.
-
Well then you need to metaphorically get some help.
-
Thanks, but I'm good.
-
You are physically good, but you are metaphorically troubled.
-
Let me guess... You don't believe that two creatures can share a spiritual bond either.
-
No, I don't.
-
Figures... You must not get out much.
-
I am out most of the time. I cherish the few hours I am at home.
-
What do, you, mean when you say "out"? What exactly are your "getting out" habits? If you don't mind my asking.
-
Rowing, running, being with friends, and perhaps school.
-
What I mean by "out" is being out in nature... The way it was intended, without technology, and without the stress and urgent nature of modern life. Grab a bare minimum amount of supplies, backpack out into the middle of nowhere, and spend a week living off of nature... You will understand what I mean.
-
I mean, I go on nature walks from time to time. I have gone camping twice. But why on Earth would I do that? It sounds dull and boring. Not to mention dangerous and pointless.
-
Have you ever really stopped and listened to nature when you are out walking or camping? My guess would be no... Because if you had then you would understand what I mean. [spoiler]PS: Why wouldn't you want to do that? How are you ever going to know what your limits are, and what your place on earth (as a human) is if you don't truly test yourself? Humanity has lost a large (and important) part of ourselves in the chaos of modern society. And we are going to continue slipping into darker and darker places if we don't find a way to get it back.[/spoiler]

I love nature I love hiking up mountains, skiing, camping, and just in general getting miles away from any motorized vehicles and electronics but you sound like John Locke right now.
-
John Locke was an amazing intellectual, and a good person.

[spoiler]So you want people to live like hunter gatherers? There are a number of reasons I don't want to do this. It is dangerous, pointless, boring, and I have other plans.[/spoiler]

Live like a hunter gatherer for seven days? Yes.... Trust me. I want people, such as yourself, to spend some time actually listening to what nature has to say... This may come as a shock to you, but humans are not the center of the universe. There is a massive world out there, and people have gotten too caught up in themselves to care about it. And this selfish mentality that humanity has adopted is not only hurting ourselves spiritually and emotionally, it has gotten to a point where it is also hurting other living creatures as well.

Slash and burn farming techniques destroyed acres of land and released lots of smoke into the air. Nature cat say anything. I know humans are not the center of the universe. God is. I am not sure how I have been selfish by not wanting to live like a hunter gatherer.

I fail to see how any of this information on Hunter gatherers is relevant. If you truly believe that God (as in the Judeo-Christian God) is the center of the universe then you would also believe that all life is sacred, and as such should be respected...even if you don't believe that all life has a spirit.

Living like hunter gatherers is more harmful to nature than living modernized lives. It is better for us as well. Sacred is a bit of a stretch. God said he created the Earth for humans, and that humans could kill whatever animal or plant they wanted whenever they wanted with impunity. However, he did speak out against purposeful cruelty to animals.
-
Where did I say we should all live like hunter gatherers? I said that people should live a week on their own, with no help from modern society, to learn their place in the world. If god created life then it is sacred.
