Nature and Art

Nowadays, many people think that natural thing is the best and artificial thing is bad, due to the serious environmental pollution. It seems that everything we do to live seems to have a bad effect on earth.

One of my friend were really "naturalist." She loved natural forest, and other natural things. Her naturalism was so strong that an artificial garden was also her hated one. She seems having the idea that the natural thing that were totally untouched by humans is the real pure thing, and when humans do something to it, then it is tarnished. I understand this way of thinking because I also sometimes feel that untouched forest as the sacred one.

However, I have one question. When think that the total nature as the best and perfect in the world, then why do we have this "head"? If really nature is perfect as it to be and we are the being that only tarnish the perfection, ...then God shouldn't give human beings this "head." But He gave us this head and because of it we enable to change the nature. Did He make a big silly mistake? But I assume that God is something which has far more smarter head and far more expansive spirit than humans. So, I predict it's very nonsense to think that he made such mistake.

Then if we aren't mistakenly given the head, the fundamental thinking way about nature and art is totally changed. For example, If I were a boss of somebody and gave him a calculator, it means that I wanted him to calculate and be good at it. So if God purposely gave us head which enables us to change the nature, it meant that He wanted us to change the nature and be good at it. In this way of thinking, changing nature is not a sinful act at all, but rather an encouraged one. So, we don't have to feel guilty for cutting a forest and create a new town. But the problem is, we should do this with sincerity to God and other lives on earth. If we think God as the owner of the garden called earth, then we are His gardeners. We should think about His preference whenever we change His garden.
