What things are sacred and why?

"In the beginning was the word .... Then came the principles of bipolarity. I became a man and gods, men and women, whites and blacks, sick and healthy. We have got to be more apart as sacred and never to seek it as these octaves Orphic toil of decay. Still not found it. well hid. We wanted to find ever more, to create ever more. I imitated the "beginning" a decline continues, we immersed in our own creed, we crowned and we praised and beloved. God has drowned and sacrificed for us once again show us where we belong, and we baptized us killed with the same water. Then we invented war and fight for survival. Gradually, we transformed into war machines. Mechanisms are always on the run weird, always with an eye to conquest and glory too greedy. I got good mercantile, buy and sell any and everything. ... In the end, nature was not to "be. "

www.dictionary.com says this about "sacred": "devoted or dedicated to a deity or to some religious purpose; consecrated." So, in that sense, we only maintain the sacred nature of things if we continually devote them to God (or buddha or whatever god one worships) Passing the sacredness of places or objects on to others only takes place as we invite them into our own beliefs. I believe it does matter. The opposite of sacred is profane. Our world is profane (irreverent, contemptuous) enough without removing any semblance of respect and honor.

I don't know what you exactly mean by sacred but for me the enviroment is sacred. Without nature we have nothing to pass on to the next generations.
