Findings

The findings of the research showed that only benevolent, truth-seeking, and aesthetic-seeking humans feel responsible for nature and the environment. Of course, benevolence, truth-seeking, and aesthetic-seeking are not easily achieved; rather, achieving them requires a lot of bitterness and bitterness. The connection between self-rule and other-rule and its effects on environmental protection was such that in the stage of self-rule, humans feel responsible for themselves, nature, existence, and other humans. Conversely, a human who is already a ruler does not feel any responsibility for himself or herself, etc. This study also showed that rural citizens who only think about individual and collective benefits, i.e. power, wealth, fame, popularity, etc., never show a sense of responsibility towards environmental crises. On the contrary, those who pursue individual social benefits, i.e. security, freedom, justice and prosperity, are always concerned about environmental instability and instability. Also, people who think about being rather than having are more concerned about the environment. Also, the more beliefs, knowledge, feelings, emotions, desires and needs people have, the more they feel responsible towards others. Finally, the findings of this research are based on the fact that preserving the environment and preventing its crises are a function of humans first thinking about improving themselves, meaning that until humans have improved themselves and, in a sense, initiated an internal revolution, they cannot accept improving other matters, for example, preventing the escalation of the environmental crisis. In fact, humans can improve the world with all its belongings to the extent that they improve themselves, that is, to the extent that they improve themselves, they “unconsciously” improve others. Also, the spiritual man has “involuntary action” and “hopeless action.” He says what he should do and is not concerned about what he will achieve or not achieve. For this reason, the spiritual man makes every effort to reduce the impurities and filth of the environment, even if there is no reward behind it. Finally, the conceptual model of the present research is shown in Figure (1).
