Thus, deeply implicated in the very definition of this gift is a special warning against hubris which is the great ecological sin, just as it is the great sin of politics. People are not gods. They must not act like Gods or assume godly authority. If they do, terrible retributions are in store. In this warning we have the root of the idea of propriety, of proper human uses and ends. We must not use the world as though we created it ourselves. Wendell Berry, “The Gift of Good Land,” p. 270.
