Destroying Earth

In the Parable of the Unfaithful Servant, the servant is warned by the master that he must defend the house against thieves and vandals no matter what. Therefore, humans have the duty to protect the Earth from those that would rob and damage it.

When I first read this statement I found it hilarious as what we humans are doing is the complete opposite of what we were told to do according to that statement. Instead of protecting the Earth, we are the ones that are destroying it.

By polluting the air, destroying the trees and plants, hunting animals and much more, we humans are the ones that are damaging it. Not only that, but we are also the ones that are taking away the natural resourses from Earth.

Instead of fulfilling our duty of protecting the Earth from those that try to rob or damage it, we are the ones robbing and damaging it. Not only that, but we are also taking away the natural habitats or many other living creatures by destroying the forests in which they live.

Humans are destroying Earth and now we're seeing the results. Recently a huge chunk of ice collapsed in Antartica. It was the 9 times the size of Manhattan. And who is the cause of this collapse. It is us, the humans.
