Today we look at nature and don't think much about it, when nature is what created us. What we are doing to nature such as animals, plants, and the atmosphere is wrong. For example, we lock up wild animals into cages at the zoo. No animal wants to have a limited space to where they can go, they want to be free. We torture the poor animals and not once do we think about how the animals feel. Nature is beautiful and apart of life we need to recognize before we destroy everything God has given us.  In Australia the polar bears are being hurt due to our actions such as Global Warming and pollution. Us humans are so selfish because all we are worried about it our entertainment and our happiness. I feel like we all need to return to nature and realize what we have before it is gone. I believe there is somewhat a relationship between nature and our spiritual  side. Look at the various children movies that were made, for example, Tarzan or Pocahontas, we wouldn't randomly create a movie if there was no true meaning to it. Therefore, I believe there is some type of relationship between nature and our spiritual side.

  1. Nature and our spiritual side are very connected. You pointed out many of the injustices that we are committing in terms of the animals in our care and how we have not taken into account the impact that our actions have on their well-being. Well stated!
