Humans are part of nature...

...as a result, what we do is part of nature. I think a balance will be kept over the long run which may include the extinction of humans. I just don't understand where everybody gets the idea that we are any more special than an insect. We are part of nature...what we do is part of nature. That's in the long run. Right now I just do the best I can to live a good life. Building boats is part of it. None of the resources we use are wasted. They continue to exist...possibly in another form, but the building blocks will always be there. Stuff will degrade, fall apart...only to be rebuilt again...by us...or if you prefer...by nature. The funny thing is that most people preaching against "having" or "accumalating"....already have theirs.
