Unfortunately, upsetting the balance of nature just happens to be what our species has been selected to do well- although we hate admit it. Like the Walrus in Lewis Carroll's poem, we shed hypocritical tears over the diminishing supply of oysters, while gulping them down as quickly as ever.
Humans have an innate tendency to disturb nature's balance, even though it is often uncomfortable to acknowledge. Our actions frequently lead to environmental disruptions, but we continue with behaviors that harm ecosystems and other species.
"Unfortunately, upsetting the balance of nature just happens to be what our species has been selected to do well—although we hate to admit it," illustrates this paradox. Despite our awareness and concern, such as lamenting the decline of oysters, our consumption patterns remain unchanged, highlighting our conflicting relationship with nature.
