Quote by David Attenborough

Nature isn't positive in that way. It doesn't aim itself at you. It's not being unkind to you.

Nature isn't positive in that way. It doesn't aim itself at

Summary

This quote emphasizes that nature does not possess a deliberate intention to be positive or negative towards humanity. It is simply indifferent and acts according to its inherent laws without any personal bias or ulterior motives. Nature may bring both favorable and unfavorable outcomes; however, it is not purposefully targeting individuals with either kindness or hostility. This viewpoint suggests that any perception of nature as either positive or negative is a subjective interpretation from human interaction and experience.

Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's mind without another's guidance. Sapere Aude! Dare to Know! Have the courage to use your own understanding is therefore the motto of the Enlightenment.

And with a great voice he said:When love beckons to you, follow him,Though his ways are hard and steep.And when his wings enfold you yield to him,Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
