Thinking like a Mountain

I personally agree with Leopold on the idea of that "we all strive for safety, properity, comfort, long life, and dullness." which for me it can be summarize on a "happy and succesfull life." But like he also says "too much safety seems to yield only danger in the long run." And combining this last sentence with the entire meaning of the essay, too much is never good, neither too little. There is a natural balance between everything that exists on this planet, we are all here in a certain time, in a specific place for a reason. We can see it all the time with examples, like the mountain and the wolf, or something bigger and more common, the relationship between human beings and earth. As humans we are constantly unbalancing the nature. On current days is the environment who has shown us that many things that we do, are on "the long run", bringing us more problems than solutions. Like global warming, less amount of food to distribute, more ilnesses, etc, etc. Nobody has the right to say what all the planet should do or not, although we willl think we are the most rational and "intelligent" specie in earth, so we should say what to do; but with all what is actually going on on this planet, are we as good as we believe?
