Is there
something positive that can be said about the interaction between the people
and nature? Well, more and more people are willing to adopt practices that do
not lead to the deterioration of our environment, and the environmental
conscience is slowly growing across the globe. The bad thing is that there is
still lot more people who consider our environment and nature in general, as
something that only exists to serve their purposes and so they can treat our
environment every way they want, without any care for our future generations.
The nature
is there to serve our needs, that's true, but serving our needs does not have
to be connected with huge levels of environmental destruction like this is very
much the case today.
Our main
problem is that we often like to think how we are beyond the nature, forgetting
the very important fact that we are only part of this nature, of this planet,
and that we cannot survive on our own.
We need
plants, animals, water, clean air. Nature has created very complicated and yet
so simple process where all living species on our planet depend on each other.
This interconnection of life is truly a remarkable thing, a simple but highly
effective process where every species, no matter how small or big is, play its
unique and special role.
The man has
sadly decided to go against the nature believing that his „superior“ mind is
enough to disregard nature postulates that have been created for billions of
years. Just because we have developed brain as compared to other species we
think we know what's best. This brain of ours could soon become our curse
unless we do something to change our current way of thinking and living.
We are not
only destroying our environment in form of several major environmental issues
like climate change and biodiversity loss, we are also hiding our humanity in
search for material goods as we look to find happiness strictly in money.
Instead of
being the guardians of our planet we are becoming barbarians ready to savagely
destroy it, without thinking of what future may hold for humans if we continue
this path of destruction. This selfish short-term thinking shows our greed and
major cracks in the foundations on which our civilization and society was
built.
Nature
provides us with resources crucial for our survival which means that going
against the nature means going against ourselves, against the logic and better judgment.
It's time
to change the way we think and the way we act. Our nature needs the very best
version of humans and not these greedy little creatures that we are today. Changing
our approach towards the nature is the key to our future survival.
