Summary

This quote suggests that natural and wild environments, such as mountains, forests, and seas, can bring out the primitive and untamed side of human nature, making individuals more fierce and aggressive. However, it also acknowledges that despite these intense influences, the fundamental essence of humanity remains intact. In other words, while nature may bring out savage instincts, it does not completely extinguish the innate human characteristics.

One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won't jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.

The consciousness of being deemed dead, is next to the presumable unpleasantness of being so in reality. One feels like his own ghost unlawfully tenanting a defunct carcass.

Survival

When we borrow trouble, and look forward into the future and see what storms are coming, and distress ourselves before they come, as to how we shall avert them if they ever do come, we lose our proper trustfulness in God. When we torment ourselves with imaginary dangers, or trials, or reverses, we have already parted with that perfect love which casteth out fear.
