"I currently don't place humans in the ecological balance because we haven't learned to be a part of it. We're not balanced in any way with our surroundings and resources. Perhaps we used to be, thousands of years ago, but no longer. I can only hope that someday we will be a part of that balance once again."
that's what I don't get...how could we ever LEAVE the balance of things? Why is it that our evolution as a species is seen to have somehow evolved out of the balance it used to be in. We are part of the great grand scheme of things, and as such, no matter what we do, we can't take ourselves out of it. <---that isn't really my opinion though...it's an observation at the contradiction in logic a lot of environmentalists have....we're no better than animals...yet somehow we're capable of fucking up more than they are...
Now, as for my actual personal opinion...not playing devils advocate or nitpicking anything...
I believe in god. I'm arrogant and believe that we're gods most beloved creatures...the rest of the world is here for us. stick with me now...it'll sound better in a second. god created this big huge cycle that works...and we are a part of the balance of things...however, because he set us apart and gave us this amazing world to live in....we're ultimately responsible for it. It's a gift. If you don't take care of a gift, not only is it incredibly disrespectful to the one who gave it to you...it's plain stupid. We're ignorant teenagers whose dad has given us a brand new shiny car...and we went out and wrecked it. It's still salvagable..but we'd better learn to take care of wha
