Taken to it's logical conclusion your train of thought suggests we do nothing to try to make the world a better place. That we should not only give up, but not even bother trying. This is unacceptable. Nature may well have a way to "balance" the environment, but that certainly doesn't mean that we should abrogate our responsibility to try to leave this world a better place for our children, grandchildren, and subsequent generations.

The whole premise of trying to create a better see more world already takes into account that their are people who would destroy anything positive we do, but to suggest that we just throw up our hands and give up the idea because of what "might" happen is wrong. Having a defeatist attitude is counter-productive.

Think about all the great things that have happened because people believed in an "Idea". Just the fact that we can have this kind of dialogue suggests that the "can do" spirit will always win over the "can not do anything". I don't mean our discussion of the topic, but the means that allows for the discussion to take place.

Computers, cell phones, television, x-rays, flight, every chemically refined medicine, advanced farming technology, global trade, solar power etc. etc. All of these things exist because someone believed they had an idea to create something that would make the world a better place. The only constant in this world IS change. Whether that change is for the better or the worse is completely dependent upon the motivations of those who would create or destroy.

Throughout human history there has been advancement and destruction. The simple fact that society in general is better off now than it was 6,000 years ago is ample evidence to me that those who choose to destroy have not been successful. Yes there are setbacks, but by and large the desire to innovate, create, and make life better has always won out in the long term in the constant battle between doing good and perpetrating evil.

If I were to place a bet on who would win this battle I would still be betting on the side of those who seek to do good. Simply because by showing people a better way and empowering them to make their own lives better you take away some of the power of a tyrant to subjugate people in his sphere of influence. When people discover that they do not need the tyrant, then tyranny ends.

We all control our own destiny, it's how we choose to live our lives which determines how history remembers us. I, for one, do not plan on being remembered as someone who gave up on an idea because someone told me it couldn't be done.....

Good day!
