We are engaged in a mutually beneficial, parasitic relationship with nature (lemmyunchained.net)

Half shower thought, half stoner thought. It may seem obvious, but I was dwelling on the point for a while, deeper and deeper.

We exist in a symbiotic relationship with nature, a sort of balanced trade of breaths. Trees release oxygen which we breathe in to survive, and in return, we release carbon dioxide that fuels their photosynthesis. In this manner, we are locked in a reciprocal, almost parasitic yet mutually beneficial relationship with nature.

We are entwined in an unending dance with the natural world, each sustaining the one other.

We ARE nature like everything else in the universe. Only because we are sentient we feel separated from the rest of reality but it it's only an illusion of our senses.
