Gaia acts as the parent who will guide Man (disobedient child) Mother and Child Relationship
Gaia as Mother
Man as Child
???What happens??? Gaia acts as the parent who will guide Man (disobedient child)
Man will make tons of mistakes and do millions of wrongs, but Gaia will advise him not to do so, and tell him what is right and what is wrong
Despite Gaia's patient counselling Man still ignores her advice and continue to commit more crimes and sins.
Consequences of Man's evil sins: mutation of organisms, disruption of eco-systems, climatic changes.
Gaia has no choice but to punish him
She canes him, beat him, etc.
Punishment for Man's evil sins: increased occurrence of natural disasters, El Nino phenomenon, global warming, and dangerous ultraviolet radiation
Their relationship may turns sour if Man does not get her message across, and continues doing his evil stuff.
If Man had got the message and become good again, they will have more fun and happy moment together.
If Man refused to change for the better, Gaia will disown him and he will have to find a new home for himself.
