There have been times when I've been in nature "alone" and I couldn't go very far because I was afraid of what might lie further in forest. I feel at home in nature, but when the protection of others and society are taken away . . . I've been petrified, happy to returen to safety. Freud freaks me out a little too, but at the same time, I can understand some of the "fear" of nature as well. <br /><br />However, that doesn't mean that Freud wasn't a sick puppy. ;0) <br /><br />Great post!

It's the "no man is an island" stuff. We're created to be social. If there are two people, they WILL form a society. The more people, the more of a behemoth it becomes.<br /><br />Freud always creeped me out, too. But they do say, and my daughter the psych major agrees, that psychologists are often slightly askew.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-32001382133943532972010-10-28T10:04:17.525-05:002010-10-28T10:04:17.525-05:00Civilization is our means to opt out of evolution,...Civilization is our means to opt out of evolution, or at least change the rules that define "fittest."<br /><br />Many things about civilization suck, but without it - no science, no books, no internet. Not even any specialist storytellers, healers, farmers, or potters. Civilization is what happens when everybody stops doing everything necessary for a rewarding and fulfilling life and certain people develop one subset of skills at the expense of others.Peni R.

Carl Jung resonates deeply with me; Freud is, as you say, a sick puppy! He must have lived a tormented life, projecting those torments onto everything else. Perhaps the nature he's talking about is our own inner nature - either way, to have to *defend* ourselves against inner nature or external nature is not something I can believe in. This quote reminds me of why I *much* prefer the brilliance of Jung!<br /><a href="http://judycroome.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Judy</a>Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.com
