hello all,
thoughts on personifying parts of earth & our life? like the nature. the sun and the trees.
i personally find it very nice, and it sort of makes me very very happy. it brings a lot of hope for me. i sometimes think this is sort of religious, in a way, but it sort of isn't. it's like, another thing entirely. but closely related.
any thoughts, then, on religions telling of nature? do you believe in reincarnation as it relates to nature? maybe thats why... we'd personify this stuff?
I just think it's an inherent thing. Why wouldn't everything in the Universe have some sort of "humanity" in them if we are essentially based on the same atoms? I mean sure, structure changes the definition of these things, but a bit of personifying helps us feel more connected to even the inanimate. I think everything is inherently connected, and we crave connection to, thus we try to find or imagine something that makes this Thing similar to us.
