Who Owns The Space

Duration - 8:07 minutes

Living together, always sounds about living with fellow human beings. Yes that is important. Living in harmony, giving space for others, accepting the differences. Our instinct to dominate over others always tries to find ways to be “superior”. We tend to forget we have to live together with the nature and other things that exists in our nature. The ancient “sangam literature” describes how human nature mingled with the surrounding and existed as a complete “whole”. Our journey of materialist development takes place at the expense of nature. We use nature, pollute it  and destroy it to achieve our development goals. Where are we now? The same nature and our own makings are threatening our existence.
