Come to think about it, just about everything in this world has an equal and opposite element to it. Science has art, life has death, earth has sky, and even our brains have left and right hemispheres (which control the opposite side of the body).
Taoism perfectly describes the phenomenon with the "yin-yang" concept - with every manifestation of active (yang) power, there's a passive (yin) power to control it. Its a cycle with neither beginning nor end. Sometimes, some factors may went over the edge, while others were suppressed until they were not able to cope, but Mother Nature has a way to restore balance. Given enough time, Her agents and mechanics can return things to how it should be.
But humans have a differnet view on how "balanced" their surroundings should be. They tipped the scale, not just in their favour, but way into their desires. They created imbalance so that their lusts could be satiated, then they requested for evermore. In the process, actions that could destroy our own beloved Home, were committed to the extent that natural regen will be too late for mankind. One can only hope to attribute a little at a time, the best they can, to help heal the world so that the next generation will not inherit the consequences of their fathers' wrongs.
Are we too late?
