Humans want to tame nature, they want the earth to stand still, so that no earthquake could happen, no flood could come, no volcano could ever erupt. They want to be absolute rulers of the Universe. They want no disease to touch them and no sorrow to cast shadows on their souls. Humans are too proud and expect for too much, they want too many things and never like to give anything back. They consider that being thankful is weakness or ignorance. Not thankful to deities or supreme ethereal beings, but thankful to nature, because it allows us to live on its territory, which we are trying to subdue and conquer and which we end up destroying. If I were Nature, I would not allow so much insolence from such tiny creatures!
