When your story, idea, passion takes you over, don't ignore it. Find some way to write then and there even if it's an inconvenient time. Remember, your story is unique to your brain. It's yours. What else in life is truly yours? Ride the idea and have fun with it. Laugh out loud. Squiggle down and mush around in it. It's your precious and unique act of creation. It is human creativity that distinguishes us as the human species. Many other species are also creative but nobody does human creativity like a human.
It is a sacred act, creating. Respect it. Do it. Wallow in the joy of it.

It's a good question. I'm an ecologist not an anthropologist, but if disregard for the natural world can be attributed to humans' short life span, no human society would revere nature. I believe there are cultures in which people depend on natural resources around them for survival and therefore respect nature. On the other hand, didn't midwest farmers, who certainly lived close to the land, create the dust bowl?
