"The Pandorans In James Cameron's Movie 'Avatar' Had An Adaptive, Evolutionary, Physiological Connection To The Plants And Animals Of Their Environment Which Human Beings Lack, Thus Affording Them A Very Real, Very Visceral Affinity To Their World Human Beings In The Movie Could Not As Yet Achieve."
"That The Pandorans Cared So Much More About Their World, Than Human Beings Do About Earth, Is Thus Much More A Case Of Physiology, Rather Than Good Or Bad Intentions."
"If We Human Beings Had The Kind Of Physiological Connection To The Planet That Pandorans Have,
We Could Not Do Aught But Care For Our Planet With The Level Of Love And Devotion The Pandorans Do."

When We Human Beings Achieve The Level Of Connectiton Kes (Voyager, Cold Fire) And The Pandorans (Avatar) Had To Their World...
"When We Human Beings Achieve The Level Of Connection Kes And The Pandorans Had To Their World,
Bringing Ourselves To Hurt Our World, Will Become As Difficult As Bringing Ourselves, To Hurt Ourselves;
For We Will Know, In The Deepest Reaches Of Our Being, There Is No Actual Separation Between The Two,
That Truly When We Hurt Our World, We Are Ultimately Hurting Ourselves ." - David Julio Wang

Cold Fire (Season 2, Voyager)
Tanis : The people on this ship, they live their lives trapped inside their primitive skulls, depending on flesh and bone to tell them what the universe is like. They don't know what it is to see beyond the physical." He indicates a flowering plant. "Touch it. This is how they universe - they touch the flower, their nerve impulses travel up their arm to the brain and in their mind they sense the moisture, the petals, the texture of the leaves, the sharpness of the thorns, and they think they know what it feels like. But they don't. Now touch it. Reach out with your thoughts. Feel it for the very first time. Think of nothing but the flower. That's the only object in the universe. Know it. Know it in a way only an Ocampa can. Can you see it?"
We must strive to gain the sort of connection with our world as depicted in the Star Trek Voyager episode "Cold Fire" and James Cameron's movie "Avatar" for us to truly gain a sense of peace and connection to the world, the universe, to our human existence.
Human beings are able to look at the world objectively, dispassionately, rationally.
We are able to suspend our emotional influences, and look at matters with the cool eye of logic.
It is not until we achieve a sense of connection to our universe as depicted in Star Trek Voyager's episode "Cold Fire" and James Cameron's movie "Avatar" that humanity will evolve past its sense of disconnect and separateness from nature, the world, the universe. When we have achieved that level of symbiotic connection and understanding, we will move past the sense that life is an experience to struggle against, a battle unceasing to forever wage against the cruelty and mercilessness of existence.

Kes: "Yes! It's more than seeing. It's more than touching. I know this flower."
Tanis: "You can do more. Reach out. Feel all the life in this room."
Kes: "Yes, I can feel it. I know them all. They're so beautiful!"
