Answer 1

Very important to upkeep the world, since it does sustain us.

However, it is two fold...one is that we can upkeep all we need to...and live in a world which works for us, as we help it to stay that way. The other is that the world can lose sustainability on it's own, without us interfering. This would be cosmic influenced.

So mankind can be angry at it's self for not upkeeping enough OR mankind can be angry at it's self for not paying attention to cosmic influences well enough.

It's a double edged sword, both of which will cut us.

Answer 2

If we had any sense at all we would do our most to keep the Earth in Environmental Balance. Rapid climate change due to our incredibly stupid mismanagement and pollution of the Earth is threatening our own existence. We are making blantant mistakes like building levees and then living on a flood plain. We make toxic chemicals to kill other animals eating our food and then expect that we will not also be poisoning ourselves. We have 6.5 Billion people on this world who could do a lot more of the work of raising our own food and making hand made products thru recycling rather than using labor saving devices that pollute and plastics and chemicals that contaminate our land, water and air.
