The Earth does not belong to us: we belong to the Earth.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that humans are not the owners or rulers of the Earth, but rather an integral part of it. It suggests that our existence is interconnected with the Earth and all its elements. We should recognize our responsibility to care for and preserve the environment, rather than exploiting it for our own selfish desires. It calls for a shift in mindset from dominion to stewardship, reminding us that we have a duty to protect and respect the planet that provides us with life.
