Life - the safe keep of nature

          At a certain point in our past, nature had created sufficient conditions for creation of life. As we understand, the first organic molecules had been created, and with their transformation and organization the first tissues had been formed, hence the formation of organs and creation of more complex creatures.

          Throughout the planet’s history many cataclysmic events had occurred, which had impacted the fragile balance of the planet, thus harming life on a large scale. During these events it’s estimated that around 97% of all life forms that had ever existed on Earth had been irreversibly destroyed, so what we see today is just a glimpse of all species that once inhabited our home world. After these terrifying occurrences, the Earth had shown a tendency toward reaching an equilibrium, with another words to seek and create balance in its total environment. 

          By studying the behavior of the planet, we’ve come to realize that it represents unity between: atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and its inner composition down to the planet’s core. This altogether system has represented a single evolutionary undividable and interdependent organism. The planet tends to seek physical and chemical environment optimal for creation and development of life, by regulating the conditions in an individual or global homeostasis. It’s safe to say that life has been confined within its safekeeping.

          It’s also safe to say that after creation, there hasn’t been anything more narcissistic than man. Our mindset has taught us that we’re the most spectacular of all life forms, since we haven’t met anyone like us. This has given us the right to rule by our choices and desires. And we desire to consume nature, our idea of our connection with nature is what we can take for ourselves. We consume just to consume, we console each other that we’re hungry. We show fire in our passions to satisfy our lusts for resources and energy. We're unable to set a path of unity with nature, which doesn’t include our greed, hunger and thirst for conquest. Humanity comes in waves, and our intensity increases as we increase in numbers. However, our growth in number hasn’t been accompanied by our growth in intelligence. We expand with a tendency to take more and more for ourselves from the environment, by feeding on its beauty and innocence.

          So does this seem like fun? Fun it is, but we recede nature’s environment to a point in time, when for the first time in the history of our home world a global cataclysm will commence from a single specie which had been created by the Earth. We aim not to condemn only ourselves in hunger, dire suffering and eventually extinction, we condemn all life. But let’s not forget that our planet shows tendency toward equilibrium and merciless regeneration, and then, all life species inevitably suffer.

          So let's stop for a minute and take a breath of unpolluted air. Let's ask ourselves... do we expand in nature for our thirst of conquest, or do we expand to satisfy our need of curiosity? We ought to realize that we don't need mirrors, because after some time, the image speaks while the man stands in silence. We need other creatures...
