    Of course. Humans are not born to live in square apartments next to noisy and ugly things.

    The forest is absolutely beautiful and spiritually healing.

    Humans can’t even make anything as beautiful as a tree. We just make square things and blocks. We like when things are in a straight line with equal height and width. We like symmetry in everything.

    But real beauty is the forest.

      Humans can make beautiful things, even beautiful architecture, just look in a museum. It’s just they’re not going for beauty when designing residential housing, usually.

      Counterpoint: Islamic architecture and Art Nouveau. To be fair, both are heavily inspired by nature.

      What do you mean ‘real beauty’? I don’t see any means to consider ‘beauty’ as anything but subjective, existing only in the eyes of the beholder.
