@Leadfoot,
I rely on logic, not pre-indoctrinated emotions.
How can you be closer to, or further from something you are an aspect of?
You are 'Natural' (Of Nature), are you Not?
'Some people are 'closer' to 'Nature' Your words...
Unlike you "I can't believe" (Sensational bollux) - I can believe - In fact - I completely expect, both the prefabricated response and the sensational disbelief.
