LIFE" would have better better. Sorry, didn't mean to get too deep, but I get the essence and spirit she was trying to say. Life = the ultimate grant Do your own research.

Didymus 34,379 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Kind of a weird statement. Entitlement is an idea of civilization, so that wasn't the best sentence lol Not a fan of the romanticized nature idea (another spectre of civilization) either, in the statement and especially the picture. In fact, you could go deeper and say that civilization actively rejects seeing the darker aspects of nature, which has a parallel in how we live our lives psychologically. If anyone saw and understood von Trier's Antichrist they'll get what I'm referring to. As always though, her thoughts prove fruitful for discussion, so I appreciate that.

Everyone and everything living is fighting to survive in a world of limited resources. Any platitudes humans come up with are spoken or unspoken social contracts, that people either compromise to be in harmony with a certain culture or they oppose it and be in jeopardy until society conforms and compromises for what you or anyone fought for to be recognized and garner substantial respect. The LGBT or other minorities' fight for equality is a good example. No one really gets a free ride, even with nature. Ask any parents who had a stillborn or lost their child to disease or worse. Life is fragile but it fights for itself.
