Do you enjoy being around nature?

That’s what she said.

Not when there’s cigarettes on the beach.

I know what you mean. What about forests, do you enjoy being around them?

Long as there are no other people around.

100% understand. Because all people can have that kind of experience, do you think it contradicts the idea that trees and flowers are meant to be appreciated? If nature is to perceive forests, and behave differently around forests than elsewhere, is it problematic if it’s also acceptable that homo sapiens wish to be free of other homo sapiens?
I’ve struggled with this kind of problem, trying to resolve my desire to perceive the sun and trees with the reality of clashing with other people.

People are trees too.

I agree. Therefore all the people who recently performed the coup in Turkey are trees, and so they deserve to be known to the rest of the world as that identity.

When my anger and rage builds inside of me, when I think of all the people who lied to me and did me wrong, when I think about choking them and snapping their little NECKS until they breathe their very last breathe and the blood spills down their esophaguses, I listen to this song to calm my nerves so I don’t break the rules.

Heavy metal just doesn’t do it for me, the music is too tame.

You’re thinking of Cypress, not Turkey.

I love trees… I love plants. I love the green grounds and blue skies. The smell of dirt and the musk of rain.

Have you experienced frustration with nature, because of the knowledge of pattern and context - essentially, that context is why things like trees and fields can have power over us?

In my village, a storm blew a tree down/out by its roots and it fell on a little boy and killed him.

Raised on a farm and in a forest, my boyhood knew first-hand adventures with nature. As a child I was “at-one” with nature. I look back on those days with nostalgia–days when I was barefoot and blessed.

The chemicals and textures of socks, as well as business clothes, dry out the oils of your flesh. causing insanity, lunacy, and all things ill.

I was happiest the last days of school when I could shed my shoes and socks and run barefoot down the dirt road.

What do you think the meaning of being “at one” with nature is? Is it programming, or is it proof that programming as a concept isn’t the essence of reality?

It simply meant belonging. No concept needed!

But reality is concepts. Reality is formula, and context. I’m asking about the link between life gravitating towards forests and nature and the existence of concepts and programming. If nature is exposed, it can lose its value, but is this reality true? Does nature have value in the first place to be lost?

Values is energies.

When an organism values something, its energies spike and the object is duplicated in it’s consciousness.

What’s the significance of that? The duplication of something?
