The Choices We Made
The current global situation is good for mankind, but it's devastating for mother nature. Mankind has always created and invented for their own benefits. The impact we have made before used to be small and ignorable, but about a few decades ago, the impact stared to influence mankind. The weather is getting more and more unpredictable, the strongest storms we know have all happened recently, the droughts are becoming longer and deadlier, and much more disasters are created because mankind has fought against nature and has crossed the line. We chose to go against nature and construct cities and civilization without knowing at first that we are destroying the only world we can live in. We have only started to acknowledge that we are polluting the Earth and should stop attacking nature. But we have lived this lifestyle for years, and changing it will be a blow for everyone, so the result was that mankind are selfish and decided to just help the world a tiny bit and recycle once in a while, but still keep on polluting.

How can something be good for mankind and devastating for mother nature at the same time? Doesn't mankind depend on mother nature for survival? Or maybe we think we don't need her anymore?
Max, what great points. I like the idea that we are sort of signing a "social contract" with other people when we interact with them socially. We don't specifically say how we can or can't act in situations, but there are definitely things we do and things we don't. Often it seems like we are more polite to one another than we are to mother nature.
