Things change (lettuce grows, where the ground was parched earlier). The atmosphere changes because humour does, too. There is nothing constant. All the time something grows and dies, withers and flourishes. Music changes because tastes do, too. No matter what, seasons change. We escape the fact that we need to yield, busily living our lives, but still in effect we talk about the weather.

Primitive nature is a reference point we return to and according to which we make holiday plans. Nature is the guardian of public order.

What are the manifestations of culture that grew out of the “lower levels” of nature? We build roads, shelters, care for the body, put up a fence. How does culture
steer biological functions and slow down physiological processes?

We crave for new levels implementing deliberate goals, such as e.g. self-actualisation.

“You are right there, but one needs to cultivate one’s own garden”.
