Humans are just one of the inhabitants of planet earth. We are not better nor of more importance then any other species on earth. Strangely we do behave like that. Humans as a collective and individuals seemingly have lost connection with themselves and nature, although we are nature and dependent of nature. For me the current crises on eg climate, biodiversity and human rights, animal rights etc. are spiritual crises as well as a moral/ethic/value crises. Off course I myself also am part of the above/not writing this as if this about any other human then myself. I do try to reconnect and would like to re-learn the wisdom of nature (eg. the way indigenous people are still connected with nature.)
