Every life is but a leaf on the Tree of Life. When one is bitten, a new bud is formed. In this manner the world is maintained. One event leads to another. This promise is fulfilled every time a child is born.
All existence is an interaction of two opposites.
The creative forces of the Gods and their adversaries, the destructive horde of Giants. This interaction creates time and the human consciousness. We have an obligation to revere the Gods and their masterpiece, nature itself. We have an obligation to revere Mother Earth and respect her resources. All exploitation of the Earth is wrong, but total preservation is not the answer.
