Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced and respectful relationship with nature, similar to the way we would with a friend. To have harmony with the land means to appreciate and preserve its entirety, rather than selectively benefiting from certain aspects while disregarding or exploiting others. Just as we cannot truly cherish and value a friend by harming or neglecting parts of them, we must recognize the interdependence and interconnectedness of all elements in our environment to establish a truly harmonious coexistence.
