What is the difference between Mother earth and Mother nature?
Thank you ;-)
Thank you ;-)
For me they bring up very different mental pictures. When someone says "mother nature" I really do imagine a female figure, goddess-like - Ceres, I suppose. When someone says "mother earth" I visualise the earth. It's not that they aren't related concepts, because of course they are; it's just that for me, one is more about the personification than the other.
