Civilized life

We as human beings, in our selfish anthropocentric vision that we have about the world, decide that life that is not “civilized” like us, is wild and dangerous. Beyond our comforts we find what remains of nature on the planet, which for some reason has been saved from our intervention. Thus, is our vanity and feeling of superiority, that we choose to call wild the natural, the forms of life that still live in the bowels of the jungles, forests, mountains, oceans, etc. Some look at this type of life as a spectacle, others with contempt and others with curiosity. And only the latter are capable of rediscovering that connection we have with these “wild” beings. Thus, humanity not only appropriated the planet, but also the concepts of life. We are civilized beings who repress their wild impulses and we reflect them in what we call wildlife.

Stepping out into the crisp air, under clear blue skies with the sun on your face and lush green grass under your feet, brings a sense of calmness and oneness with nature. When in the wilderness, you connect to your creator and satisfy your soul.

No matter how few possessions you own or how little money you have, loving wildlife and nature will make you rich beyond measure. – Paul Oxton

When we let go of our material possessions and connect with nature on a spiritual level, we experience true happiness, balance, and fulfilment in life.

If you are not filled with love and compassion for all creatures in nature, you will never know true happiness. Paul Oxton

The ability to connect emotionally and spiritually for the needs of animals, allows you to stand up and use your voice when others cannot be heard.

Giving pleasure to a single heart by a single act of kindness, is better than a thousand heads bowing together. – Gandhi

One person making a difference is better than large groups of people coming together but not doing anything to change the world through the simplest of acts.
