This time around, I would like to post a question, rather than a random thought. Actually, by posting a question, I've already posted a random thought but in a question format. Anyways, here it goes.
Are we doing our job?
Job Description: Gen 2:15 - "to work and to take care of it"
It seems like wherever humans are, the environment will become worse, no matter it is Greenland or Toronto. From what I heard from the news, the area between North and South Korea, in Chinese it's called "three eight line" literally, has been out of reach of humans for 70 years (or something like that). Now, it is a treasure of wild life and is very beautiful.
We, human, are called to work and take care of the world. Are we failing our job? Why?
Leave us a quick note or comment if you want. Both long or short comment are welcomed.

Human Swine Flu
When there is H5N1, we killed tons of chicken. When there is swine flu, some (or 1) countries killed tons of pigs. Now, human transfers the swine flu back to pigs. Sometimes, I wonder, whether pigs had considered killing tons of human...
It seems like human has a tendency of killing unlimited amount of wild lives when there are chances that they may endanger human, regardless whether they are really endangering. What kind of mindset behind this? Pigs and chicken are not lives. They are merely food. It's like when your shoes are hurting you, you throw them away. If you think about it, they are not really lives. They live to die (absolutely no parallelism whatsoever intended) to feed us. Their life purpose is to feed us. Of course that's fine, we are the center of the world and we are human! Everything around us is only for us to use and exploit. Of course, we care for the earth, our human descendants still live in it, right?
Hmm... I thought God actually saved them thru Noah long time ago. They are also part of the creation, like human, that "God saw that it was good" (Gen 1:10,12,18,21,25) and "God saw all he had made, and it was very good" (Gen 1:31).
