The more I read, the more upset I became by the foolish, selfish, cruelty mankind can exhibit towards other beings. We can never seem to reach a balance with nature and our surroundings, especially when it means limiting our own population increase. Instead, we eradicate other species, remove and change their environment to suit our needs and never learn that we can only do that so many times and our own species will have become unsustainable.

The most painful images I have in my memory are those of animals suffering because people are too self-centered to understand that we are not the only ones with feelings and innate rights. Even seeing someone cut an old tree to improve their view angers me.

Why can we not get along with Nature's solution to maintaining life on Earth and establish limits for ourselves? If we do not, Nature will certainly come up with a correction of some sort we will find thoroughly unpleasant for our maladjusted species.
