We Believe “We are the Nature!”

1. Destroying the Nature Means Killing Ourselves

We have been fooling ourselves, we thought we are lengthened being so we know that we can manage, control, utilize "the nature" for our benefits. We thought that cutting down the trees, changing mountains into valleys, transforming valleys into concrete mountains are all good for us, no matter "the nature" is destroyed.

2. Separating "The Nature" from Human is the Biggest Mistake Human Ever Made

Human beings thought "he/she" became enlightened and therefore the centre of the universe, he can do anything, he has the potential of bring the "heavens" down to the earth

He thought he is doing is good for him and therefore, anything that hurts and kills other beings is necessary for human development and progress

2. Considering Human Beings as the Master of the Earth is the Second Fatal Mistake Humankind Ever made

Wisest human beings will not consider himself/ herself as the centre of the universe.

Wisest humankind will never consider himself/ herself as the master on Earth

Human beings with body, spirit and mind should be the most humble, the most enlightened, the wisest among other beings, knowing clearly that humans are the nature ourselves, not more, not less, therefore, all things we do against what human calls "nature" is actually degrading the human dignity and dehumanizing our own
