Nature displays all its riches to us, but to those who do not respect it, in other words who want only to use it to their own selfish and limited ends, it closes its doors. But this is exactly the attitude the majority of people have towards nature: the earth, water, air, the sun and the other planets. Do you really think that what motivates man to want to conquer space is not based on self-interest? Many will say that they do not care if nature closes its doors to them. Perhaps, but if they carry on in the way they have been, nature will not simply close its doors, it will retaliate. They will then have no choice but to understand and change this attitude of theirs that continually proves their lack of intelligence, their lack of love, their lack of will, ... their lack of everything. Lack of intelligence because they should have understood the laws of nature; lack of heart because if they did love the beings that inhabit nature, they would not have the cruelty to destroy them; and lack of will because they have always opted for the easy solution. Well, nature will teach them a lesson.
