The distinguishing issue is on the part of the human being to abuse, corrupt, pollute, neglect, or behave with any malicious disregard.

But who decides what is neglect,or corruption? Is cutting a block of marble out of the earth and carving it corruption? Is it corruption if one just chops it to pieces, but not corruption if one carves a beautiful statute out of it?

And what if you think making a cross out of wood is corruption, and I think it's appreciation of of the tree? Are we both right? Both wrong? How do we know?
