ENVIRONMENT
IMAGINING
REALITY
Close your eyes and imagine this scenario.

You are walking on the bridge of

Daet at 10 in the morning. The sun
is shining brightly but you forgot to
bring your umbrella. How does the
sun feel in your skin?
 Close your eyes and imagine this scenario.

As you kept on walking, you caught a

glance of the Daet River. How does it look?
After crossing Daet bridge, you continued
on to get to the grocery mart. You looked on
the traffic head. Was it congested? How is
the smell of air on your nose?

ON SUPERIORITY YET
COMPLETE
DEPENDENCY
 Human beings think highly of themselves. Even
philosophers like Plato and Aristotle assumed the
superiority of humans towards other living beings.

And yet, in order to survive, humanity depend on

its environment, sometimes even at its mercy.
 But even back then, humans exploit the utility of the
environment. It’s as if we see the environment as
slaves to our whims and supposed “intelligence”.

Philosopher Martin Heidegger called such thinking as

STANDING RESERVE. That when we see the river,
we see it as a place for our laundry, to clean our bodies
with, but not as it is--a river.

Ecology? of living beings by ancient philosophers and
some religions. He emphasized the link and
interdependence of humans, animal, plants,
and the world.
 This means to realize our duties and
responsibilities as a specie with great
What is Deep
intellectual capacities to our environment.
Ecology? To eradicate the perception of being the
center of the universe (geocentric), and
cultivate the fact that there are far more
important things than ourselves.
