From the situation known by our ancestors when Nature was perceived as a Mighty Force that could break a human life as easily as one breaks a twig of wood to today's situation where breaking the seemingly tamed force of Nature is as easy as flipping on the motor of a bulldozer and pushing down trees, much has changed. We are no longer under the yoke of unforeseeable circumstances brought upon us by Nature and we basically seem to control much of our environment and the circumstances of our lives. Yet, this is merely an illusion. The reality is that we still rely on the vast, magnificent and intricate web of Life for much of our survival, but act as if we are now totally independent from Nature. Thanks to our much vaunted technology and science, we think we can affect whatever situation to our advantage and avoid almost totally the dire consequences of the uncontrollable forces of Nature that our ancestors had to cope with.
