I feel insane

I'm so jealous of the connection the Na'vi have with nature. Maybe my lack of spirituality is catching up with me and I just want something to believe in. I don't believe in Eywa, but I want to believe the plants and animals around us understand a lot more than we think.

I come from a very science-oriented household. Almost everyone in my family is a doctor and I'm currently pursuing my own doctoral degree (won't specify which branch of medicine for purposes of anonymity). I'm diving headfirst into research and there is so much evidence to indicate that both plants and animals have a much higher level of understanding/sentience than we originally thought. I can't talk about this with my family because I just sound like a tree-hugger, but the evidence is there. It doesn't help that the political state of the world is so dire, most people would rather focus on something else.

Please, if there's anyone out there who wants to talk about this, I welcome any kind of conversation. I have an open mind, and I'd never judge anyone's spiritual/scientific beliefs. Even if you just want to talk about the world of Pandora or don't have any scientific background, I'd love to discuss this with someone. Thank you for reading.
