From the text, we learn that nature is both powerful and volatile.... nature is everchanging and unforgiving. Man on the other hand, has the ability to protect himself, but he also has no guarantees. You can study and prepare yourself, but there's always a chance you will not be ready for the challenges nature throws at you. Man should never be prideful in regard to nature.
