Proving What We Already "Know"

[bennyboy]

The mountain is harmed exactly as the mountain is destroyed even if it is not bad - this is the same argument all over again.  To be fair, it's always bad if you ask me.  

Sometimes, it's true that we just don't like the idea of more people.

I'll have to say, then, that I'm not willing to use the term as you use it. To me, harm most certainly implies a negative connotation.

I've never heard of people say a log is harmed by burning, unless perhaps they are the proud possessors of some particularly unique and special log that they cherish.

But state is changing constantly-- new mountains growing, land getting subducted and recycled, crystals of ice forming and then melting. I cannot say that a snowflake melting is harmful to anything or anyone, including the water in that structure.
