Living in Peace with Nature

When we wash our hands with soap, the germs become slippery. And when we rinse them off, the dirt and germs slide away with the bubbles. When we use anti-bacterial soaps or disinfectants, they kill the germs, but a few survive. These can become super germs. Whatever we try to subdue by killing, instead of peacefully ruling over it, will rise up against us. But, whatever we try to subdue by the wisdom, power and grace of God, will submit. For we are called to live in peace with one another, and that includes nature, too.
