Not my name on Nostr: If you’ve ever been to the beach and looked out over the vastness of the ocean, or ...

If you’ve ever been to the beach and looked out over the vastness of the ocean, or to a mountain range and gazed below at a grand valley vista, you’ve likely experienced the sensation of being “small” by comparison.

This very powerful and nearly universal human response (it crosses cultures, political ideologies, ages, races, etc) to the scale of the natural world tends to put a lot into perspective. It seems for many to cause empathy for one’s fellow man, who appear equally as small when viewed in such light.

This is why governments and many others who seek to control you don’t want you to go outside. They want you to live in cities, consume their propaganda, and produce yield for them. They want to destroy and limit the natural world because it brings out the best in us and tends to make us realize that we don’t need others telling us what to do (and watching us) all the time.

They want us to bring more and more people into the world to squeeze us into ever smaller spaces so that our perspectives become equally as narrow.

A narrow perspective lets “leaders”convince us that it is okay to hurt others who are more like us than we are like our leaders.

What a shame.
