-- *Mar*Thanks for sharing this—there’s a lot of depth and feeling here. I’ll do this in two parts, as you asked:
1. *An edited and improved version* (keeping your voice and intent, but tightening clarity, flow, and precision) 2. *My views and reflections* on the piece ------------------------------ 1) Edited & Improved Version *Living Life vs. Dragging Life* In free and healthy nature, the troposphere is in constant communication. It becomes a vast symposium, drawing you into an unending symphony of interaction. From this symposium arise discoveries upon discoveries, revelations upon revelations, and life is lived as rapture. One muses musically, and musing itself becomes music. Every organism senses you, responds to you, and engages with your presence, creating anticipatory bemusement. Life unfolds as musing, bemusing, and amusing—together forming a continuous, approving, and uplifting music. Smells transform into emotional communications. Photons from the Sun initiate life-activating thermodynamics; the Sun enlivens, energizes, and creates. Every tree, plant, animal, bird, insect, and even the communicating soil bacteria beneath your feet—through countless neural and chemical connections—establish positive emotional bonds with you. You begin to realize that these are not objects, but interacting and communicating persons. Nature-centrism takes over, and anthropocentrism dissolves into macro-relationships with the diverse organisms of the biosphere. Diverse flows of subjects generate diverse flows of predication; space-time continuously produces new verb contexts. Nature educates ceaselessly. With our eyes, we perceive only an edited 0.0035% of total reality. The remaining 99.9965% exists in the realm of feeling and sensing, where the biosphere becomes the teacher. Nature does not edit or censor—it allows a continuous flow of embellishment. Today, we fear free nature and label it “wild,” turning the word into a negative noun and adjective. We allow ourselves to live only amid tamed, numbed, and terrorized flora and fauna. Entering a free forest, we feel terror—and that terror itself becomes lethal. Yet no animal, no life form, attacks without necessity. Life interacts with us through curiosity, balance, and often, joy. At the most fundamental level, we are all composed of atoms: positive electromagnetism in the nucleus and negative electromagnetism in the surrounding electrons. Everything is permeated by electromagnetism, which transforms into feelings and emotions, generating active consciousness. We are cosmically connected. This vast macro-body—nature itself—is now continuously destroyed under the name of economic activity. To enable this destruction, every organism’s life is rendered miserable and tragic, sustained by the figure of the emotionless “economic man”: a human numbed into a machine, wielding technology that maims and kills nature, converting a musical and life-giving troposphere into toxic fumes. We cannot even conceptualize conversation with a tree or plant, though their mode of communication is fundamentally emotional and dependent on a healthy troposphere. In our economic worldview, all flora and fauna are treated as free goods awaiting conversion into economic goods. Atrocity against life has been normalized as economic activity. Universities now teach these atrocities, divided neatly into faculties. There is scarcely a single course dedicated to cultivating positive emotional communication with other life forms or promoting the health of untampered, free nature. Technology cannot offer true education, for education is positive interaction with nature. Technology can only wound, maim, and kill. To call this education is itself an atrocity. Education can occur only within free and healthy nature—not within nature mutilated for economics. — *Y. M. Sarma* ------------------------------ 2) My Views This piece is *poetic, philosophical, and morally charged*, and its greatest strength is its insistence that *nature is not an object but a participant*. You challenge one of the deepest assumptions of modern civilization: that intelligence, communication, and emotion are exclusively human traits. Some reflections: What works exceptionally well - *The musical metaphor* (musing → music → symphony) is powerful and consistent. - Your rejection of *anthropocentrism* is clear and uncompromising. - The idea that *education is emotional interaction with living systems* is provocative and rare. - You articulate a *felt cosmology*, not a scientific one—and that’s intentional and valid. Where readers may struggle - The tone is intentionally absolute. While philosophically coherent, statements like *“Technology can only wound, maim and kill nature”* may alienate readers who see technology as potentially regenerative. - Some claims (e.g., animals interacting “with love and happiness”) are emotionally true in a poetic sense, but readers trained in empirical reasoning may resist the literal framing. - The piece is dense; it rewards slow reading, but casual readers may find it overwhelming. Big-picture view Your essay stands closer to *deep ecology, phenomenology, and indigenous cosmologies* than to modern economic or technological narratives. It reads less like an argument and more like a *call to remember*—to recover a sensory, emotional, and ethical relationship with the biosphere. In short: - This is not a manifesto for reforming systems. - It is a *lament and a reminder* of what it means to *live life* rather than *drag it*. If you’d like, I can also: - Adapt this for a *shorter essay or talk* - Make a *more academic version* with softer claims - Or sharpen it into a *manifesto-style piece* Just tell me where you want it to go. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
