Can man triumph over nature The relationship between mankind and nature is very difficult to explain clearly. Ever since human beings come into being, we had never stopped the action we fight for nature and explore unknown areas. Looking back along the river of history, we may find that harmony used to exist between people and nature. At that time nature was a pure field to be plowed, sown and harvested. A man respected and reverenced nature. But in our industrial age, we were deeply influenced by the thought that man can conquer nature. In that circumstances, we made many breakthroughs. We created antibiotics to defeat diseases and build skyscrapers to control excessive population growth and manufactured robot to do heavy physical labor. All these facts that indicated we conquer nature eventually. Nevertheless, numerous catastrophes reminded us of the relationship. We did never forget the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Los Angeles smog and Wenchuan earthquake that warned us of nature's unconquerable power by unanswerable facts. As Engels a German socialist philosopher put it, we should not be overjoyed by our victory on nature, for each such victory, nature will take revenge on us. How can we treat nature correctly? Just as a famous proverb said: the highest level between human and nature is living as a poem. Therefore, people should live harmoniously with nature. All the materials we need to live with come from nature, but we should also redound the nature, rather than blindly solicit. For example, we should plant more trees and take actions to protect the environment. In addition, we have to control population. Due to the rapid growth of the population, human beings require much more natural resources than before. In consideration of long-term development, population growth must be controlled. We all come from nature which is our homeland, so we must try best to protect it. Always keep firmly in mind that when a man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment.
