Many often refer to humans as not being animals. Rather, humans are categorized in their own group. But how far are we from nature? More importantly, how far is nature from us? 

It would seem in the last hundreds of years, the human being has drifted far from nature. It’s widely recognized, but hardly acknowledged. It has almost come a cliche to say “We need to go back to nature man!”. However, we forget many times that we are a product of nature. Nature created us for a purpose none of us may ever understand. 

One way in connecting humans with nature is through sound. Nature has a flow when it comes to audio. From the birds chirping, the wind blowing, or even a soundless desert, nature uses sound which ultimately determine how we perceive a certain place. Left untouched, and with no human fabricated sounds, nature works just as well as say, the streets of Brooklyn. 

It isn’t our duty to determine who we are, or why, but it is a responsibility to maintain whoever that may be. Nature is a lot closer than one may think. It just takes a free mind to not just realize that we’re organic, but to realize everything around us is as well.

Now take the sounds of nature, untouched, and as soon as I edit them they become human-made. With a change of pitch or speed, these natural sounds become robotic. As if Midus himself had touched the audio, it has changed completely. However, with this change, we must remember that the audio is still organic.

So has it become a cliche that “humans destroy nature” and/or “humans should become more natural”? If we were to become more natural we would wipe off generations of hard work. 

Now, some may argue that by ignoring these cliches of the human race ending it’s own existence due to greed or stupidity, that it’s ignorant and inappropriate. It’s possible that our intelligence is our downfall. That a possible glitch in nature has made a species to smart, that it will collapse and cease to exist. Nature will continue. 

People need to remember we are natural. What we do, what we create, and what we destroy, is all determined by us, by nature.

Nature created us.
