Is morality a relative concept? In any society there exists a somewhat mysterious consensus‚ which changes over the decades‚ and for which it is not pretentious to use the German loan-word Zeitgeist (spirit of the times).

Nature is an integral part of our lives. But even while we appreciate the blessings she bestows on us‚ we forget that we are plundering her treasures and thereby denying our children the pleasure of enjoying nature in all her abundance and variety in the future. The beauty of nature has been extolled in the works of poets and artists.
