happy sunday... once again... time is so weird... here these two posts are back to back but separated by a week... an objective number of seconds... (604,800) but sometimes it can feel like a month... and sometimes it can feel like a day...



this is what i wanted to write today... an question from the Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess...


"The essence of deep ecology is to keep asking more searching questions about human life, society, and Nature as in the Western philosphical tradition of Socrates.... For example, we need to ask questions like, Why do we think that economic growth and high levels of consumption are so important? The conventional answer would be to point to the economic consequences of not having economic growth. But in deep ecology, we ask whether the present society fulfills basic human needs like love and security and access to nature and, in so doing, we question our society's underlying assumptions. We ask which society, which education, which form of religion, is beneficial for all life on the planet as a whole, and then we ask further what we need to do in order to make the necessary changes." (from Deep Ecology: living as if Nature Mattered, by Bill Devall and George Sessions)
