The only species that separates and alienates itself from nature is our own. Isolated in that seclusion we either try to dominate nature or protect ourselves from it. Yossi asks his audience to expand their horizon and see "the big picture". Our life has become "in a box" and we've forgotten that it is our birth right to be and feel part of our planet and the entire universe we live in. - Sailing the Seas of Change
