I found that nature provides a special dispensation for purchases and practices that may otherwise be viewed as morally suspect, opulent, or greedy. Nature is priceless, but priceless experiences can be quite expensive. In communing with nature we experience something much deeper, honest, and True than our everyday experiences in society that are seen as inauthentic, morally hazardous, or just the product of selfish economic exchange. Thus, for the rich, the amount of money spent is a secondary concern—both practically and morally—not just because they have plenty to spend, but because the purity of this realm that we call “nature” offers invaluable joy, goodness, and groundedness to protect against the crass materialism rampant in a world of social corruption and elite competition. The many flawed human elements guiding our lives and society melt away in the face of the cosmic, the mountainous, the spiritual, the ecological.
