Pitts '' Sometimes The Earth Is Cruel'

People are always complaining the earth is to mean, that nature is to mean. They cry, they wine, poor get poorer and the rich get richer, people are condemned by the things they didn't do. Men weep when their lives are in danger, and humans being the great cockroach of the earth we survive. We survive to live another day, to rebuild and replace, to gain more material objects. In the following essay it will be my comments on Pitts’ “Sometimes the Earth is Cruel” and will follow up on a single theme from it.
One main theme is the idea people who are poor will be treated bad. People are as cruel as the earth, maybe even more so, but their are good people out there. Good people help other people and so as much as humans get you down there will be someone to pick up the pieces. Hopefully before it breaks, and shatters, sometimes it’s in their to break things. People are treated bad regardless of how many good people are out there, even without the human equation some people wouldn't be treated the same as others.
Maybe we deserve the earth to be cruel to us, maybe she is trying to say something, to tell us to be better.
Nature as many poets would describe her is a cruel mistress, which could mean multiple things in Pitts’ definition he is talking about its unfairness. Nature’s ability turn on us like the flip of a switch, sure it could be kinder to residents of Haiti but will it? We are talking about an inanimate object that will win and defeat us nine out ten times and the other tenth is just luck that we get away in time. Meteorology is a whole science of “predicting” where and how damaging the weather will be, and if people don't listen or get out in time they
die.
One day soon we will know when, where, and how hard a storm will strike but we may never control it and would we want to? Those are powers of the gods would men dare try to control the weather and if we did what would be the consequences. Humans love to see the good in people but there will always be corruption; if politicians controlled the earth's weather what would stop them from putting their lives above everyone else's. Then we are in the hands of human cruelty rather than in natures. Wouldn't people like to be nature’s hands than humans we can be so much more cruel than the earth can be.
Maybe the earth has to be cruel, after all what would we be without her cruelty we'd be very boring with no dreams or hopes her rain would not fall and souls would dry. We'd be lost without the earth’s ferocious force of will her demanding nature has led us to keep warm in fire, to stave our hunger, and to feed our curiosity. We'd be overcrowded without such horrible events as the plague, but now with our biting at her wrists to loosen her grip we've got stupid laws in China where you can have only one kid, and endangered species popping up every which place. So in the end can we say the earth is cruel? Or is it for our own sakes?
