It is like a trap we all are slowly falling into. It is like a drug more and more of us are being day by day attracted to. It is like a blackhole that imprisones us inside without our awareness. In fact consuming, virtual life style in this modern era is killing us, taking our identities and makes us slaves of the system. One day people will forget, how it feels to spend hours outside, how amazing it is to stand on the top of the hill or to sleep under the sky, how it feels to enjoy this awesome feeling nature can satisfy us with. It is unfair, nature is fading away from our minds and maybe after some centuries will be totally vanished and will become something imaginary. Things are getting more and more virtual and people accept it as it is, lazily go with the flow. Who knows, maybe our next generations will percieve virtuality real and reality fake, maybe virtual flower will be more imporant than the real one. Isn't this all a bit pathetic? We come from nature, we should respect it, protect it, adore it, but not forget it or destroy it. When I am thinking about it all, it makes me pretty sad and at such moments I feel like packing my stuff and going somewhere far away. Just to live like a castaway on desert island, be happy and die happy in nature...

We should bring them out more frequently.
I agree with you; we should be protecting and respecting Nature, but I also agree with Eva: I don't think things are gonna change for the better. I wonder how many nature and wildlife reserve is gonna be left in 50 years from now if we keep having the same wasteful lifestyle.
Nice topic, thanks for sharing!
What a great awareness raising topic to read and reread whenever I feel carried out by our delusional world of technology and superficiality. Human relationships are about connections and interaction which is inherited in our natural demeanor. That’s really sad to know that all elements of physical interaction became emulated in the virtual world as most of people consider the virtual world as a great way to escape from nature, but real life would have to intervene at some point. We are obviously letting our bodies to become almost empty husks whilst we live our lives in a virtual utopia using all these addictive social networks without realizing that they are part of our life routine. I am really missing my old life as a nature lover, where I used to run on grass, coming up with creative jokes, contemplating at nature with more curiosity, traveling and discovering the aesthetics of our natural world without getting any spoiling review …etc To be quite blunt ,here is so much out there in our natural world, things to see and do, smell and sense, many of them if you could travel between stars is more fantastical than anything the human mind can imagine. But sadly, people are already becoming more reclusive with technology which by far can change our natural behavior. Let's hope for the best :)
How I can say cities are beautiful, when nature has chosen the jungle to reveal its beauty?
Luci, let me join you in that journey, I really hate stinky City air, City life and every detail of negative modernization. I found myself guilty facing my laptop almost every day and almost all day long. How I miss camping days, the moments where we gather food from the garden, tree climbing, and try to taste different wild bearing fruits, play with butterflies and catch dragonflies, chase birds from the rice fields, throwing muds to each other, playing on the road, running after one another, hide and seek games...too many to mention.
How I love to go back to nature.
