If its about dominion, then we can effect a great deal without realising the consequences of our actions. If its about custodianship however, we tend to observe what's happening around us more and make decisions with other living things in mind. <br /><br />Fortunately we have some more thoughtful neighbours on the other side. I think of them as low-impact neighbours. Once their road was put in and house built, they let the rest of their land resume its natural course. They have less work to do maintaining their property now.<br /><br />I'm not against human development, but it has to be in partnership with the existing environment, or else every living thing becomes exposed.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.<br />Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-44670784259009091612014-08-10T15:44:47.922+10:002014-08-10T15:44:47.922+10:00thank you for this post Chris, it troubles me all ...thank you for this post Chris, it troubles me all the things that people do and dont think of the consequences, all they see is their goal and be damned with anyone or thing else. These people walk around their whole life with blinkers on. I find myself more and more staying away from people as i find most of them only think of the here and now and what it can give them and not what they should be giving.<br />does this make any sense? some times i find i ramble and dont seem to get my point across.
