~Parable of the Unfaithful Servant~

-In the Parable of the Unfaithful Servant, the servant is warned by the master that he must defend the house against thieves and vandals no matter what. Therefore, humans have the duty to protect the Earth from those that would rob and damage it.-

I totally think this parable is correct. The master of the house is giving the servant the change to have a shelter and all it wants in exchange is the servant to take care of his house and maintain it. I think that this is the same as God and us. God gave us the chance to live in the earth and in exchange all he wants is for us to take care of the planet. It is us who are vandalising the earth. We are destroying it, we are robbing and damaging it's natural beauty and nature.

Humans have the duty to protect the earth. It is here where we all live, were our children will live and we have to stop destroying it. We need to stop vandalising and robbing because at the end it is us who pay for the damage we cause. Or perhaps it is the ones who don't do anything who pay for it. Poor people are the ones that pay, they don't have money to buy stuff, they live in poor houses where there's not even electricity, they don't use energy. Poor people live a simple life, they don't countribute much to global warming as richer people do, but at the end it is poor people who pay for the results of global warming because they don't have the resources to protect themselves.

We as servants of the earth need to stop the people who are damaging the earth. We can do this by reducing the amount of energy we use, by recycling, by paying attention to buy things we really need. We need to change our lifestyles, we need to become more aware and of who's robbing our earth and PROTECT it agains them!!! It is our DUTY to PROTECT the place WE LIVE IN!!

I agree with you, we were given an amazing place to take care of that people don’t have idea of. I think that people who are destroying the environment are the ones who have never been in contact with nature. They are missing an amazing experience of seeing nature and smelling a clean and fresh air. We are so selfish thinking about making our lives easier that we forget our real duty. We take advantage of the things we are given. Since, we know we are in control we tend to over use it. It is time for us to realize that if we want to save our planet we need to do it now.
