Henry David Thoreau
"If a man should walk in the woods for the love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer, but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."

There is danger worth putting yourself in. Maybe if more of us communed with nature we might see destroying it as less than industrious. Let the shortsighted call you what they will. Go and be a part of the real world if only for a while. The artificiality that we create and exsist in as humans will be there when you return; at least for a while. Thank you Henry.
