"If a man has no long-term worries, he will have near worries", which is a sentence in The Analects of Confucius by Wei Linggong, a pre-Qin thinker. It warns people that without long-term planning, there will be immediate worries, and we must have a far-sighted vision and not just stare at the present. As far as the ecological environment is concerned, whether human beings have a "long-term view" on nature is not only related to the living state of nature, but also related to the development prospects of human beings. "Now" is this shore, and "future" is the other shore. If there is no "foresight", you will lose your way, and there will be many "near worries", so it is difficult to reach the other side of success, or even the opposite direction. As the saying goes, "there is a lifelong worry, and there is no trouble once; He who does not seek eternal life is not enough for a moment. " Only by anticipating everything, weighing the advantages and disadvantages, foresight and avoiding disadvantages can we win the chance.

In primitive society, human beings still have awe of nature. With the development of productive forces, the mystery of nature is gradually broken, and people gradually change from fearing nature to transforming nature. Since the 20th century, mankind has gradually fallen into an inevitable ecological crisis. As far as China is concerned, our ancestors have long advocated "harmony between man and nature" and put forward the concept of "harmony between man and nature in good time, place and place". However, with the increase of population and demand, after making progress with the help of scientific and technological tools, some people began to ignore the laws of nature and do whatever they want. They think that China is vast and rich in natural resources, so they go to war with nature with great fanfare, resulting in ecological imbalance. While bringing material wealth, disasters will follow. Aren't the frequent natural disasters in recent years all natural and man-made disasters?

There are always different attitudes of "optimism" and "pessimism" about the relationship between environment and disasters in the world. A considerable number of people are blindly optimistic about the "sky" and think that the sky will not fall. On the contrary, it is those who have "foresight" who spare no effort to promote the protection of the ecological environment. Since the concept of "sustainable development" was put forward by Ms. Brundtland of Norway in 1987, "sustainable development" has gradually become the common goal of all mankind. In fact, it is not terrible for human beings to have a crisis. The terrible thing is that they don't care about the crisis and don't look back when they hit the south wall. Dialectics tells people that things can be transformed into each other, and danger can only be transformed into security in peacetime; Sit back and relax, and when you encounter danger, it will gradually become a disaster. With more sense of urgency, we can plan ahead and nip in the bud.

Facts show that human beings always lose in the competition with nature. Man and nature are not masters and servants, conquerors and vanquished, but interdependent partnerships. Protecting the ecological environment is not only an urgent need for human survival, but also a guarantee for human future development. "Short-term worries" and "long-term worries" are related. Worry is to not worry, worry is to not worry. Only anxiety and worry can predict that "the wind rises at the end of the Qing Dynasty", guard against arrogance and extravagance in prosperity, keep an eye on the unexpected in prosperity, be good at observing in grand occasions, look for clues in public opinion and protect the environment in development. Only in this way can we avoid detours and pay less, benefit today and win the future.

"He who has no long-term worries will have near worries", so we should encourage ourselves and alert ourselves to meet the needs of contemporary people without harming the rights and interests of future generations!
