I have a different view of nature, trav. I don’t believe in taking care of the environment because nature can take care of herself. We, humans, think too highly of ourselves if we are to believe that we can alter the course of nature.

Case in point: Japan. Being one of the most advanced societies in the world, Japan has more environmental laws in place than say the US or even Europe. And yet, look at them in the past few years. They experienced more natural disasters: high magnitude quakes, tsunamis, freak typhoons and even two-story flash floods than any of us, Asian countries.

Why is that? Because the Japanese want to live peacefully, orderly and even minimalistically. They lost their purpose. It may also explain why they have high suicide rates too.

I am more inclined to believe that nature is alive in a sense that she feels with us. if a society or a civilization has a lot of things that are useless or that are without a higher purpose, she will jolt us.

i have observed this na in some of the recert major calamities. Nature rarely attacks big cities which are very very active. it seems her victims are sleepy rural towns or smaller communities that seem to have detached themselves to the flow of the modern world.
