Man is the only living creature with an intelligent brain which can think and create. Man is the only living creature that can destroy. Plants and animals just do what they are supposed to do - live as they are. But man has to constantly "improve" life, better life, enrich life. Man is the only living thing that has emotions, strong emotions enough to create animosity and war. Hate is one of the emotions, given birth by thoughts of superiority, that "I am better than you". This hatred has led to misunderstandings and wars. In the end, someone must get hurt or killed.
Look at the aboriginal tribes around the world. They live simple with nature. Most of today's world has seen these tribes vanquished by colonization of land. Look at the American natives. They once lived in harmony with nature in the land we now call America. White man came and took over the land. Where are the American natives now? In reservations, somewhat left behind. Look at the Orang Aslis. They live comfortably in the jungle. Development took over and they are forced to live with development. They are displaced.
Look at the Australian Aborigines. Only they can survive in the desolate places. They are one with nature. Those who are absorbed into modernity struggle.
Why did some races become extinct? The Incas, the Atlantians. Left on their own, they achieved the highest of evolution and disappeared from the surface of the earth. What does that tell us?
