Biophobia is the discomfort one gets from basically being outside too long. They long for technology, a modernized world, and air-conditioning and feel stressed or uncomfortable if they are in nature too long. Biophilia is almost the opposite. These people long to become one with nature. They have an affinity for nature and want to spend time outside more often than not. I think that there could be a biophilia revolution, but I wouldn’t say that is necessarily the case. it is hard to tell how a mass of people feel about nature. One could enjoy it while others prefer to stay indoors. Although I love nature, I’m not going to lie and say I don’t like air conditioning in 100 degree Florida heat, because I do.
However, I don’t think I will ever get over nature. There is something extremely calming about just being outside by yourself. I specifically enjoy the night time, gazing up at the stars. It gives you a sense of life. Like you’re part of something bigger than yourself. I don’t think nature will ever get old, and I would hope that others feel the same. But I don’t think I can accurately say whether I think biophilia is trending or not. It is all in the eyes of the beholder.
