What is the reason for Humanity’s negative effect on Nature?

Question from the Internet:

“Does any human interference go against mother nature by default good or bad? Does it depend on specific context and setting, like medical or the environment?”

We have a significant problem with Nature.

Although we are born from Nature, we still exist and evolve with Nature, our inherently, uniquely human, egocentric, subjective consciousness, perception of reality make us believe as we were outside of, above Nature, not bound by Nature’s laws.

We have no idea about the general balance and homeostasis that permeates the system and facilitates life and optimal development. Our “sciences” merely scratch the surface as we are interested in Nature only to the extent we can exploit it for our selfish benefit.

We do not even know what our own natural necessities are and we are totally oblivious to what available resources actually are.

Thus we act recklessly, consume everything we can for our own sake, regardless of the consequences. And even when we identify the damage we caused we stubbornly justify ourselves and carry on, even if means destroying our own and our children’s future.

The only solution to this wanton, suicidal behavior is a unique, purposeful, and highly practical scientific, educational method that can help us become similar to, integrated into Nature so we would understand, sense the system from within. This is actually our unique, evolutionary Human purpose to achieve such conscious, proactive integration, adaptation to Nature above and against our inherent inner program.

Then, as a result, we will become the Natural system’s only conscious, integrated but independent observers and partners.
