You speak of nature as though it is a child to be cared for, rather than a fickle beast to be appeased and respected.
Humans, similarly, still follow her laws. Being what you would consider a “good person” does not guarantee survival, much less procreation.
[Though their debate was rather heated on her end, he seemed to be enjoying it. If anything he seemed amused by it, He saw little reason to get fired up over it, the world would give and take as it always did, regardless of what window you viewed it through.]
That is what makes it a risk. Take the situation now, for example. With my injury, I’m limited in what I can offer, but you are here investing your time and energy regardless, with the assumption that I will do the same for you.
Likewise, I trust that you will not take advantage of my position while I am vulnerable.
If either of us are wrong, then the consequences could be dire, and yet I believe we understand each other enough not to worry over such details.
