How am I spending it?  You need to have an account of it says Seneca! 

  Nature Maria Popova “We can never have enough of Nature , Because Nature is not something to have It is something we are. When we wade into Nature with our body and mind, We witness more than our limits transgressed - boundaries dissolved” We have been fed falsehood by consumerist extractionist complex that” Rest of living world is separate from Human World Nature is a place to visit and mine for experiences and resources to adorn and enrich our separate Human world It is better we realize that : Human world and Natural world are not separate
