The powerlessness of man before the vengeance of nature

 

The year 2024 will be remembered for the wars near the European Union (EU), which refuse to subside. This year is also becoming known for natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and other natural disasters, which leave behind destroyed homes, commercial buildings and tears for our loved ones who did not manage to survive.

Man, who is supposed to be the highest developed intelligent being, is thus once again faced with his complete inability to tame Mother Nature. The fury of nature, to which we often attribute revenge for pollution and the use of nuclear and other weapons to destroy everything living and non-living on our planet, refuses to calm down in any way.

We can safely warn of the possibility of new strong winds, tornadoes and hurricanes, and possibly even floods and earthquakes. But for the most part, we humans are powerless to tame, eliminate or prevent them.

Humans have invested most of their knowledge in the invention of new and even more powerful destructive weapons. And this weapon manifests itself in all its destructive action under the influence of the human will, permeated by a hostile attitude towards others and a desire to destroy.

Man has invested much less, or is still investing his intellectual abilities and money, in the preservation of our planet. Probably also due to the fact that there are still many forests and fields that provide us with the oxygen we need to breathe, the water and food we need to survive or, in other words, to maintain our lives. And, of course, the fact that the number of people who are born  is still greater than the number of people who die during this time also contributes to this. And of course, we always count on the fact that people know how to rebuild their homes, farm buildings and fields and forests again and again after all the destruction of one kind or another. And by no means do we foresee the destruction of all living things on this planet and perhaps even the destruction of this planet Earth.
