” Actually, one could be happy to give away everything, for a greater good, and still impose an order upon things to permit them being shaped for human use and consumption........

I wasn’t shooting for a “give away.” My comment had more to do with acceptance and accommodation of and participation with the natural order of one’s existence. (the word impose is getting stuck in my craw… so far).

Here is what I proposed initially:

”If we are able to conquer the inner desires to possess the world, then aren't we more likely to be at harmony with it. Don't all things then become an aspect or at least a state of nature. Civilization in a city being one state, the rain forest being another.”
