Nature and Human Nature
(Clearwisdom.net) Humans benefit from nature. However, nature has been greatly wounded by
humans' quick gain of hard cash on the destruction of nature. Researchers estimate that humanity
loses about $250 billion through the loss of the habitat that is destroyed in a single year. The
cash return from conserving undomesticated places is far higher than the gains made from developing
them and scientists put the benefit-cost ratio at more than 100 to 1 in favor of conservation . This new analysis places a value on the goods and services that nature provides, just like
businesses provide goods and services to consumers. For example, the ability of a forest to regulate
climate by absorbing greenhouse gases, filtering water and trapping nutrients are natural services. However, nature is not the only factor that plays an important role in the well-being of mankind.
The other factor, which governs nature and has been completely overlooked, is human nature itself.
Truth paves roads for good relationships with other people, while compassion and forbearance enlarge
the living space of our crowded world. Destruction of nature will bring about natural catastrophes,
so what will happen if human nature is betrayed or insulted? We may gain quick money by keeping our
mouths shut to the abuse of human nature; we may invite evil forces to sustain political
relationships against human nature; and we may protect our power by surrendering our conscience and
ignoring human nature. However, what is left when we find we must call out, "United we
stand?" When our materialistic world is shattering, human nature becomes the last resort. Both nature and human nature are the most precious resources of our human world. The value of
nature's habitats may be measurable and saleable, but there is no market value for human nature.
When nature is abused, human beings will be penalized with natural disasters. However, the
consequences of betrayal of human nature could be easily overlooked and viewed as natural disasters.
Recently, heavy rains across central and Eastern Europe have created floods not seen for centuries.
It was told that the damage in Dresden would total more than 100 million euros. Dresden is the city
where Jiang visited in April and local policemen were forced to suffocate the voice of practitioners
of Truth, Compassion and Forbearance. People are hearing a message that human values are being greatly eroded in China, but it takes a
while for a titanic nation to sink. Currently, almost one third of this vast country's land mass is
desert, or is in the process of becoming one, according to official statistics. In Beijing, the dust
storms have been the worst for the past decade and more than 50,000 tons of dust accumulated in the
city in March and April this year. Again in this year, half of China has been flooded and locusts
have plagued the other half. Now, nearly one million people are struggling to battle the biggest
flood in decades. The world's human values have been massively insulted since China has started to
persecute practitioners of Falun Dafa, who practice the ultimate in human virtues,
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Jiang 's abuse of human virtues is an extension the abuse of
nature in China for economical and political gain. Currently, he is trying to seduce some countries
with political or monetary bait and threatening some countries with his power to expand the
destruction of human nature worldwide. Yes, we need to conserve nature. However, we need to conserve human nature even more. Enron and
other companies have been eliminated through bad accounting. Many people have been doing exactly the
same things on the scale of human nature, destroying the best in human nature and virtues. The value of natural habitats may be used temporarily for profit; however, human nature is
priceless. We may buy and sell everything, but human nature. Guarded by God, human nature should
never be bought or exchanged. á Reference:
