"تضاد رمانتیک بین صنعت مدرن که طبیعت را تخریب می‌کند و نیاکان ما که در هماهنگی با طبیعت زندگی می‌کردند بی‌اساس است"

Simplified Meaning:

Many people think that the way we produce things today harms nature, while people in the past lived gently with the environment, but this isn’t true. In reality, even our ancestors made changes to the land that sometimes hurt it. For example, in ancient times, large areas of forest were cut down to clear space for farming, which affected the balance of nature. Our modern industry does cause pollution and uses a lot of resources, but the idea that our ancestors lived perfectly in balance with nature is not accurate. They also had their own ways of impacting nature, though it might look different from today's industrial effects. This means we should recognize that the problem isn't just about modern times, but about how humans have always interacted with the environment. To apply this to our lives, we should focus on finding better ways to coexist with nature now, rather than idealizing the past. This involves using technology and innovation to reduce harm and be more sustainable, rather than believing that only old ways were good. It helps us understand that improvement and care for nature is an ongoing challenge, not just a modern issue.
