It's when you're safe at home that you wish you were having

Summary

This quote highlights the human tendency to romanticize and desire what we don't currently have. In the comforts of home, we yearn for excitement and new experiences, craving the thrill of adventure. Conversely, in the midst of an adventure, the uncertainties and challenges may make us long for the security and familiarity of home. The grass is always greener on the other side, encouraging us to appreciate the present moment while acknowledging the allure of the unknown.

One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.
