As much as you and I don't want to admit that, we might just be no better than parasite to our home planet Earth. I know, we are great. We build. We have single-handedly acheived civialization (if you can call it that). But so do ants, and they don't harm the environment. They don't kill each other. You may also argue that Earth is not alive, so by definition we can't be parasite, a living thing that lives in another living thing as a host and does no good to it. But is Earth really just a rock? Is it? Really?
Some say the ecosystem is trying to get rid of us. First of all, there are more hurricanes and they get more violent each year. Second, a new global-wide ice age is somewhat overdue. And there are too many other nature disasters, earthquakes, freak waves, tsunamis, typhoons, droughts, famines, tornados, floods, volcanos, solar flare, landslides, etc, all waiting to explode. And needless to say these are all domestic.
Look at it this way. We need mother Earth. If someone claims that the other way around is true as well, I'd say it's complete bollock. (love saying that!) We couldn't have been worse for the planet. We produce too much CO2. We dumped a dozen N- and H-bombs. We've been deforesting. We kill as a sport...
(edit: apparently ants kill, or at least fight each other.)
