Does Anyone Know How to Grieve?
Quite often, parallels are drawn between nature and humanity. When you consider the fact that we all come from stardust, the way we can relate so innately to natural forces makes a lot of sense.
In fact, much of what creatures do makes a lot of sense. Take reproduction as a pristine example. It’s either sexual or asexual, and the way it unfolds has everything to do with the anatomy of the organisms involved.
All animals, no matter their cognitive abilities or overall development, procreate in ways that make sense. As such, we have an understanding of how various species reproduce.
Another example that comes to mind is the basic list of tools required for survival. The exact number of elements we need in order to survive will vary depending upon which resource you reference, but the general consensus is that air, water, food, and shelter are prerequisites to maintaining life.
No matter if you’re a four-legged friend in the wilderness or a two-legged person in an urban setting, survival is a concept that is explained in ways that make sense.
We have an understanding of what each of us requires in order to survive. There are seemingly endless comparisons that can be drawn, but my hope is that reproduction and survival are two examples that will successfully set the stage for my next point.
