Human nature is much
more stronger than the Earth nature. Simple desire and efforts are not enough
to change a human being.
Only the man can
change himself and nobody else. For example only on his own will he can turn from
a nervous into a calm person. However I should mention one thing: changing the nature
is possible when a person is clever enough to analyze his own behavior and his position
in society
.
It’s quite easy to
change rivers and mountains because of modern technologies – you can blow a
mountain, you can dig a new estuary. Human beings use the chemicals and the
nature changes the image. The nature changes itself due to external biological
laws, which you can be influenced by a human being. Ecology is changing because
of the human activities.
One of the evidences
is a famous dystopia by Anthony Burgess “A Clockwork orange”, where the lead
character Alex is a cruel and immoral teenager, getting into prison. He was given
an experimental
behaviour-modification treatment. Because of this experiment he stopped to be
violent. At the beginning the doctors turned Alex into a “kind” and harmless
person, but after a while he returned to his old behaviour– he became violent
and started committing cruel murders. This novel illustrates, that even strong
psychological impact can’t change a man.
I can not
but mention a novel by Ken Kessey “One Float Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, where you
can see changes of personality of mentally sick people in asylum influenced by
one man. Patrick McMurphy – the lead character, was a rioter, who was able to
change the beliefs and motivations of the loonies but this happened when these
miserable people realized the need to change. In the end of the novel the patients
escaped from the hospital without caring about the consequences. It is an
illustration that even mentally sick people can change themselves if they want to.
I know how
it’s hard to change my opinion about something until I understand the need of
these changes. I really personally believe that it is easier to change rivers
and mountains rather than to change a person.
