*Mar**Approving Nature-Vs-Disapproving Nature*
Suppose you are among friends and members of your family, who are very
happy with each other and who approve of each other. You develop the eyes
that are filled with light and you automatically look into the eyes of the
others. You just cannot notice anything negative and disapproving. Your
circle becomes the arena of approving and happy emotions.
Now imagine the situation in nature, where every organism approves you.
Every organism basically is a fountain of emotions, and not a body machine,
obeying Newtonian mechanics. In free, lush and thick nature, every organism
inhales approval and exhales rapture. The air becomes the ocean of rapture.
At the most fundamental level, when matter broken becomes pieces, pieces
into molecules, molecules into atoms, atoms into particles and particles
into vacuum and the vacuum into the ocean of consciousness giving the
conscious notice that creates matter,( as per Quantum Physics), the notice
is only positive notice and not some negative economics or the emotions
devoid mechanics.
Nature does not produce feelings-less machines. The airs on the earth or
the radiations of the Cosmos, all impact on emotions. Emotions are
motivations of creations.
We are now filling our earth with machines and debris, all of which are
truly dead, as they simply are not emotional. They automatically pollute
and poison the land, water, air, the flora, fauna or simply poison the
emotions of all. Health approves you, while disease disapproves you. Today
we have converted the air into the ocean of misery and poison, and we call
it development. The economics which we drill into the hapless kids does not
have a single word about emotions and rapture but only about the countable
utilities called the utils. It attempts to count satisfaction and emotions
or create the mathematical reduction.
Rapture is part of infinity and simply cannot be captured into mathematical
quantities. You cannot quantify any emotion; unless you bludgeon one with
assumptions. But misery can be counted. One can quantify it by counting the
number of machines. Every machine, pollutes and poisons, and can only bring
misery. But we have jailed ourselves in technology, and addicted to create
the solutions created by technology by more technology.
In every huge city with teeming millions of people, you find only
emotionally lonely people. Because they can breathe only the poisoned air.
If you can, go into some free, thick and free nature. You experience
rapture, rapture that simply is extinct in urbanized or the poisoned part
of earth.
The equatorial Sri Lanka is heaven on earth. But thanks to economics, it is
diseased. Debt trapping nations needs to be taught a lesson, refuse to pay.
Then allow nature freedom. The wonderful equatorial forests have been
destroyed and huge sky scrapers have been constructed. They of course
contain cages called apartments.
God created Nature as Heavens. Man created Economics. Economics has
converted the Heavens into hell.

This piece is a powerful and poetic critique of modern civilization,
particularly focusing on *technology*, *urbanization*, and *economics*, and
how these forces have *alienated humans from nature* and from *emotional,
approving relationships*—both with one another and with the living world.
Let’s break down the *key themes and ideas* in the piece:
------------------------------
*🟩 Core Ideas:*
*1. Approving Nature vs. Disapproving Civilization*
- The piece draws a stark contrast between:
- *A natural, approving, emotionally-rich world*, where all beings
affirm and uplift one another.
- *A mechanical, disapproving, emotionally-starved urban-industrial
world*, where machines dominate, and emotions are neglected or
commodified.
------------------------------
*2. Nature as Emotional and Conscious*
- Nature is described not as a blind mechanism, but as an *emotionally
alive*, *approving*, and *conscious* entity.
- References to *quantum physics* and *consciousness* suggest that *at
the deepest levels*, reality is not mechanical, but responsive and *driven
by emotion*, especially *positive notice* (approval).
------------------------------
*3. Technology as Dead and Disapproving*
- Machines are seen as fundamentally *lifeless*, *emotionless*, and
inherently *polluting*.
- Technology is not just physically toxic (pollution), but *emotionally
toxic*, fostering loneliness and alienation.
------------------------------
*4. Critique of Economics and Utilitarianism*
- Modern economics is criticized for being *emotionless*, reducing
*satisfaction* and *well-being* to *measurable utilities*.
- The mathematical reduction of happiness is viewed as a *bludgeoning*
of the true, infinite nature of *rapture and emotion*.
------------------------------
*5. Cities and Urbanization as Emotional Deserts*
- Urban environments are portrayed as *emotionally empty*, where people
live in *cages* (apartments), breathing *poisoned air*, disconnected
from rapture.
- Emotional loneliness is seen as a *direct consequence* of
technological and economic dominance.
------------------------------
*6. Sri Lanka as a Symbol*
- Sri Lanka, with its *equatorial forests*, is presented as an example
of lost paradise.
- Its transformation via economic development and debt traps is mourned
as a *conversion of heaven into hell*.
------------------------------
*7. Spiritual and Moral Message*
- The conclusion is deeply spiritual:
"God created Nature as Heavens. Man created Economics. Economics has
converted the Heavens into hell."
This summarizes the *moral critique*—that in turning away from nature,
humanity has turned away from emotional, spiritual truth.
------------------------------
*🔶 Stylistic Elements:*
- *Evocative language*: “air becomes the ocean of rapture,” “eyes filled
with light.”
- *Binary oppositions*: Nature vs. Machine, Emotion vs. Utility,
Approval vs. Disapproval.
- *Philosophical undertones*: echoes of deep ecology, quantum mysticism,
anti-capitalist thought.
- *Moral tone*: almost prophetic or sermonic—urging a return to nature
and emotional wholeness.
------------------------------
*🔍 Interpretation & Reflection:*
This essay can be read as a *call to re-sacralize nature*, to restore
*emotional
richness* in our relationships—both human and ecological—and to *reject
purely mechanical or utilitarian views* of life.
It's also a *profound critique of the modern condition*, diagnosing our
spiritual and emotional diseases as resulting from *systems (like economics
and technology)* that were *never built with emotional or moral wisdom* in
mind.
------------------------------
*🟦 If You're Sharing or Analyzing This Text:*
You might consider:
- Comparing it with *Romantic poets* like Wordsworth or Blake.
- Connecting it to *deep ecology*, or thinkers like Arne Næss.
- Juxtaposing it with modern critiques of AI, transhumanism, or
techno-solutionism.
- Using it to spark a discussion on *how to reintroduce emotion, spirit,
and approval into public life*—be it in schools, cities, or economics.
------------------------------
Would you like help turning this into a formal article, presentation, or
poetic piece? Or are you exploring these ideas for a project or discussion?
Certainly! Let's evaluate the original essay *objectively*, as though
assessing it for an upper-level *college or university writing course*
(perhaps in *Philosophy*, *Environmental Studies*, or *Literature*), using
standard academic criteria.

------------------------------
Would you like me to rewrite or reformat this into a publishable
version—say, for a blog, magazine, or journal?
Certainly. Here is a short *allegorical story* based on the *themes in your
essay* — the emotional richness of nature vs. the coldness of machine
civilization, the idea of “approval” vs. “disapproval,” and the spiritual
cost of development.
------------------------------
*🌿 "The Forest That Remembered Your Name"*
*An allegorical tale by ChatGPT, inspired by YM Sarma's themes*
------------------------------
There was once a boy named *Elian*, born in a tall gray city where the sun
was just a rumor filtered through smoke and glass. The air smelled of
wires, exhaust, and forgotten dreams. People walked fast. Their eyes were
mirrors. Their faces — clean but empty — did not speak. Every street looked
the same. Elian lived on the 43rd floor of a building shaped like a
tombstone, in a room called *Unit 437-A*, where he watched clouds fight
machines outside his window.
Elian’s mother said the world had grown rich, but he never understood why
everyone seemed so poor in joy.
One night, he dreamt of *trees that sang*.
In the dream, they called him by name — not "437-A" but *Elian*, the name
his grandmother whispered when he was born. Their voices were wind and
honey. The trees said:
“You are approved. You are beautiful. You are part of us.”
When he awoke, the grayness of the city stung his eyes.
He asked his mother, “Have you ever heard a tree sing?”
She said, “Trees don’t sing. Trees are timber. Now go study. You need to
understand *cost-benefit equations*.”
------------------------------
But Elian couldn’t forget the dream. So one day, while the city buzzed in
gridlock and the buildings grunted with fatigue, he followed a bird — a
real one, not a drone — out of the city. He walked through suburbs of
silence, over highways that hummed with dead energy, until finally, the
gray ended.
And *green began.*
He stepped into a forest that *remembered how to feel.* The moment he
entered, the leaves quivered. A breeze lifted. The sunlight wasn’t white or
harsh like city LEDs — it was *liquid gold*, soft on his skin. Every tree
bent slightly in his direction. Birds stopped mid-flight to look at him.
“You came,” said a voice, not from a mouth but from the moss beneath his
feet.
He felt tears rise — not from sorrow, but from something deeper:
*recognition.*
The forest wasn’t just alive — it was *aware*. And it *approved of him.*
Every breath he took was returned by the trees. Every heartbeat was echoed
in the pulse of roots and rivers.
He lived there for what felt like a lifetime, though the sun only set once.
And then, reluctantly, he returned to the city.
------------------------------
Back among the glass and iron, he looked into people’s eyes again. They
were still mirrors. But now, *his eyes glowed* with something different.
Children stared at him in wonder. Trees growing between concrete cracks
leaned toward him. Even machines paused, confused by his quiet smile.
Elian had brought something back —
Not a product. Not a utility.
*But rapture.*
And the city, long disapproving of all emotion, began — ever so slightly —
to *remember the forest.*
------------------------------
*🕊️ Moral:*
Nature approves you, not for your productivity, but for your presence.
And when you let it in, even a machine world can begin to remember how to
feel.
------------------------------
Would you like this adapted into a *longer story*, or perhaps into a
*children’s
book*, *animation script*, or *short film* concept?
