to fear nature

Guy 2022-03-24 09:01:37

The clansmen in the film are the epitome of the entire human society, while the land and soil are the roots of nature. Human beings naively think that they can control nature, but in fact, nature is the master of human beings, and human beings can survive and develop only by relying on nature. In mythology, Nuwa made man out of clay and filled the sky with stones; in reality, human beings evolved from apes to humans because apes climbed branches, jumped and ran in nature, and their bodies developed into what they are today. It can be seen from this that man comes from the land and from nature. Humans are born from nature, and human development is also inseparable from nature. Human growth needs water, and water comes from rivers and mountains. Rivers and mountains are born from land, and land is the root of nature. Therefore, the most basic needs of human development must be supplied by nature. What reason do human beings have? To master nature? On the contrary, separating from nature, controlling nature, and being above nature, just like the city in the sky, such a civilization cannot exist at all, and what it wants to have will eventually destroy itself. Only by "rooting in thick soil, bathing in the breeze, spending the winter with the seeds, and singing with the birds" and in awe of nature, can the tree of civilization be luxuriant and evergreen in all seasons. Then, the reason why such thoughts and disasters are caused by human beings is still due to the inferiority of human nature - greed, desire and hedonism. Because of the supreme science and technology, human beings claim to be the most intelligent creatures in nature. They are arrogant and greedy. They have endless desires for money and power. They are happy to enjoy and hope to have countless treasures. Unbridled digging of nature's heart, cutting nature's flesh, robbing nature's treasures, leaving the earth riddled with holes. However, humans have also paid a heavy price for this. Spiritual power is powerful, and human wisdom can develop civilization, and similarly, it can destroy civilization. With the rapid development of modern society, there are noisy cars everywhere, thick smoke from factories, and dirty air everywhere. Not only is the environment so bad, but the pace of society is so fast. People are always busy all day long without leisure. No precipitation, no thinking, so uncomfortable. How much I like nature, yearn for nature, I can chase freely with cattle and sheep, I can grow melons and get melons, I can climb mountains, I can lie in the fields and watch the stars in the sky... Tranquil and leisurely, I can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and I can let my soul If you can be peaceful, you can not have too many troubles. People have too many troubles because they want too much. When they are in nature, how can they ask for something, and how can they add troubles? Nature is a place of purity, a place of enjoyment, not a plaything that is plundered and dug.
