I agree with you. But not always is that scenario played out!

I believe in that. With human interference things go elsewhereMarion Jepkosgei wrote: ↑15 Jul 2020, 12:21 I am an environmental scientist and the greatest lesson I learnt from the book is that nature doesn't forget and it definitely doesn't forget. So for us humans to co-exist in perfect harmony with the natural environment, we must stop interfering with nature.
And that the natural environment can do fine without us, but we can't exist without plants and animals. And so, in this age of climate change, we must atone to nature by stopping the injustices we subject to animals and plants. Everything on earth has a moral value.

I agree, but why do humans not learn from their mistakes? why do we need books or movies to tell us that.Priyanka2304 wrote: ↑15 Jul 2020, 13:03 For me, this story has a lot of potential in telling us about the true might of the nature.

Yes, I totally agree with you on that; do unto others as you would have done to you. Well said!shynmr wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 07:25 I think the idea of leaving the natural world as unmolested as possible is one of the biggest lessons.

We are arriving to be more humane and this is a shining example of why and when that could matter.

Tha's a lesson I would agree with. Nature balances itself and, therefore, acting against it will eventually have a set back.Priyanka2304 wrote: ↑15 Jul 2020, 13:03 For me, this story has a lot of potential in telling us about the true might of the nature.

And the analogy with the movie "The happening" was great.

Well said, I could not agree more! We humans tend to think we are in control but I dare to say the truth is quite the opposite.

I do agree with you and it is human nature.Ify_Reviewer wrote: ↑16 Jul 2020, 06:47 Grant's sexual encounter solidifies the fact that no matter how preoccupied one can be, natural instincts like sex can creep in almost unannounced.

That is correct, but when these acts result in the downfall, we tend to blame the stuff.Sgpope01 wrote: ↑16 Jul 2020, 09:38 I think the biggest takeaway for me is that despite best intentions, being human and temptation can overpower our the best of ourselves. Also, just because we set out with good intentions but fall prey to alcohol, sexual acts, mistrust, it doesn’t make us inherently bad or evil. It makes us human. And I liked that about this book. That it showed fault in our main character, but I still liked Grant!!

That is so true...do20 wrote: ↑17 Jul 2020, 06:26 Self-discipline is a great virtue if you want to achieve something big. In addition, human beings and nature can find a way of communicating. In fact what we give to nature always comes back to us. Hence, it will be of our benefit to behave well and not against nature.
