Moderns understand nature, and employ it more efficiently, than old-timers, but lack the respect for nature that should follow scientific and technical comprehension. Only if people see nature as something that cannot be simply invaded will people treat nature in a rational way; otherwise people will only retain their sense of self-importance and rudely develop and exploit nature.
從表面看來，今人比前人瞭解自然、也更會利用自然，但獨獨缺乏科技精進後更該有的敬畏自然的精神；只有覺得造物者的不可侵犯，人類才可能合理對待自然，否則只存人定勝天的自大想法，易造成對環境粗暴的開發與剝削。
