Like most normally educated individuals, you are a victim of contemporary society's conquest of nature in the name of progress. Our undeclared war against nature has deadened you emotionally, for you and your senses are a living part of nature. Along with nature, they have been conquered, too. No matter what our leaders say to the contrary, since we are part of nature you and I must be victims when we war against nature. We each suffer some emotional shell shock of nature conquest that often makes us into zombies.
Zombies suffer from destorted thinking and many leaders are zombies.
They wrongly think we should not recognize and honor ourselves as victims of our undeclared war against nature. Your sensory deadening explains why, indirectly but knowingly, you continue to senselessly destroy people and other life forms. Everybody else does it. You see it all around you. However, you also know that with respect to living harmoniously with the environment, you and yours have become death that walks.
