 @mickpyro @markwyner @anna_lillith the change in emphasis by different use of language is exactly the point of this post though. It's not about the 'facts' it's about the framing. Most people would say the picture showed "deer crossing a road". The interesting thing is to re-think it from the perspective that "the road is crossing the forest". That is a novel re-framing of the scene. Not the 'facts' but how it makes us re-think humans in the context of the rest of nature is the point.  @corin_ja @mickpyro @markwyner @anna_lillith Thank you for the nature of the point, pun on nature? @mickpyro And still, many deers get hit unnecessarily all the time. Although you are correct with your assessment that both of your mentioned claims are true, I think the intention of the post is to shift our view from a human-centered to a nature-centered one. We tend to see the deer as the annoyance, when we are actually cutting through their habitat for our convenience.  @markwyner @anna_lillith Whenever someone says they hit a deer, they're more concerned about the state of their vehicle than the deer. I'm always more interested in the condition of the deer. Cars can be repaired. @markwyner @anna_lillith "We humans tend to center ourselves in everything." One can clearly see this with people like Musk and Trump, preforming their power and greed, trickle down program. |

The deers are crossing the road.
The road is crossing the forest.
Both facts are true. None is superior to the other.
Paved road or dirt road doesn't change any of this 2 facts.
In any case, you slow down (even with a bike -not even speaking of a motorbike), give them and you space, and continue to your merry way. It's not hard.
