I don't just mean to talk about natural things, but about what we can understand. Do you fully understand how your computer works? Do you know where it came from? If you knew how your computer was made from scratch, I would say that you understand how you are connected to nature.

[Ya, there are a ton of things we take for granted, not just machines and how they work, but even basic skills....That would seem to be a function of our education system, which seems to have enough trouble educating people to read and write.
Due to our lack of compassion for nature, nature owes us a very very big beating........!
Yeah, when some people think that food grows in supermarket desk that tells all what's needed.

In the case of food, it would just be acknowledging the role of the soil, sun, etc. in going into the food. In the case of the farmer, who directly picks the plants from the field, the whole process of where stuff comes from is very natural. Everything, we have is connected back to natural processes in some way, but its connection to nature is hidden by our societies complexities and by hyper-specialization.
