The rains are innocent; we are all guilty of wounding Nature

I think Nature is innocent. When Mike Sonko pleads "Dear God pls forgive us, maybe our sins are making us experience (sic) this" on X, he is, like many, blaming Nature for the current havoc heavy rains are tutoring man to.

The evasive "maybe" isn't strange; man is very absolvent of the environmental damage wrought on Mother Earth. When Sonko pleads "maybe", he involuntarily gives us a glimpse of the nurture of man; collagenous, that is, someone else must take the blame or something else must be made the culprit.
