It's important to have an ecological conscience, but the first thing we must do to have it is to realize what nature really is.
There are many people in the world who want to do something for the Earth, for nature, for animals, etc., but environmental campaigns cannot win this fight alone; they need the cooperation of all of us.
Therefore, it is crucial to emphasize that to achieve this, we must be conscious of our actions and have a genuine desire to change the injustices we commit.
At that moment, all we have to think about is nature, its true relevance, what it has been since the beginning of time.
The most important thing is that we do not see it as we have been taught in school or as it has been presented to us as a simple object of satisfaction, but rather we must find its true meaning within ourselves.
They demand our respect
In order for us to change our bad habits and give the environment the importance it deserves, we need to realize that nature is not just another satisfying thing.
We must feel with our hearts that nature is not just an object; that every element of nature (animals, plants, seas, mountains, etc.) is truly valuable and deserves love, but above all, it must be respected. Nature also needs respect to develop in harmony and evolve happily, just as we do.
Therefore, we must stop our cruelty and become more sensitive so that our minds stop being indifferent to the true reality, to that reality that is currently screaming at us, "Please stop!"
We must see that they are beings who need to receive and give love, who demand respect, who desire to develop freely.
They feel like us
All beings of Mother Nature have the need to communicate heart to heart with us so that we can understand who they really are.
They seek to prove that they are capable of giving us love despite the harm we cause them every day. Despite everything, what they most desire is for us to give them the opportunity to show us that they feel the same way we do.
They are an important part of the development of the universe, but mainly of the development of our hearts.
A fundamental step will be to put aside the divisions between animal, plant, and human. It's time to leave behind everything that has been imposed on us in this regard, which now makes us act in a wrong way, far from love.
We are a single creation, free from the divisions we have created, and by realizing this, we will be able to discover the true essence of our brothers and sisters, who, every second, teach us how to live with and for love.
