Biophilia : A Handful of Earth

Biophilia, as holy as it may sound, is the hope for the wounded lives of earth that have been under the threat of the global pandemic and environmental disasters caused by human activities. With the advent of a time referred to as the post-corona age defined by the (post) viral pandemic, we’ve eventually come to look into humanity as one of the species of the ecosystem. In fact, the discourses of lives on earth are not new. The abstractness of the campaigns for environment protection that have been lingering around us for decades made us regard them as a sort of civic group- or the government-led propaganda. News about climate anomaly or glacier melting seem far distant compared to the turbulent civilization around us; we’ve often thought them as activists making a fuss about nothing. However, now in 2020, those shouts for earth that used to be considered merely as slogans have become a code of conduct for survival. Only now when the virus attack has caused the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives every day, a retaliation of violating the territory of nature, humans are realizing that the they are actually in the same cycle with nature. Humans who have arrogantly distinguished themselves from nature have awakened biophilia innate within them and are readying themselves to learn the attitude and ethics for coexistence. From limitless competition to balance, isolation to interdependence, destructive Anthropocene to a creative and peaceful Anthropocene, humans are moving forward towards a new change. Human nature of love of life that stems from the sense of awe in the diversity of lives latent in a handful of earth will fill in positive energy that can transform the world.
