“Government should preserve publicly owned wilderness areas in their natural state, even though these areas are often extremely remote and thus accessible to only a few people.”
观点:同意上面观点,政府应该保护荒地,尽管它不能为社会的繁荣做贡献,但是荒地对人类来说远比那些物质的东西重要。
荒地是人类心灵的栖息地,可以给人带来真正的自由。因为现代社会的发展,人们不断追求无止境的物质财富,有房有车,但是你逃不开贷款 mortgage,bills ,consumer debts,你必须更加努力的赚钱来维持一些。你不能做自己想做的事,束缚你的事情太多。而居住在荒地的人是最自由的人。只要有荒地存在,就意味着人们可 以逃离市俗的纤拌,找到可以使心灵平静下来的地方,感受原始状态的自由(So long as there remains some wilderness where people can go to escape the ties that bind, freedom will retain some of its former meaning.)
荒地也有很大的美学价值。自然的美是人类创造不出来的
