When GOD was asked how he managed to keep the entire universe in a snow globe on his fireplace he said, 'Relativity my dear Einstein. Relativity.'
The reason that most Humans choose to retain a parasitic relationship with our biosphere is that we are unable to comprehend anything bigger or smaller than ourselves. What we cannot experience we cannot imagine and what we cannot imagine cannot exist.
We are born, live, and die within this biosphere and we remain blissfully unaware of the splendour of what exists outside of it.
Mind you, given the mess we're making of the place do you really want us infecting the rest of the universe?

I don't know that most people consider their place in/on the world as if they were actually a part of the biological environment. Therefore, they don't choose, they fall into that category. Still, there are people who give back more to the environment than others, making their relationship more mutualistic than parasitic.

In a way, all animal life is a parasite on the green plants. The green plants make their own food from water, air and sunlight, killing nothing. But animals (including people) kill the plants for food to survive. Or they kill other animals that killed the plants. We are all parasites on the plants, even the Amish.

I don't think we choose to be parasitic. Advances in food technology and medicine reduces our mortality rate. Things that would normally thin out the population are not existent. What should we do, kill our children? Should everybody have to kill one of there neighbors?

We tend to be like viruses that way. I prefer to think of myself in a symbiotic relationship with my enviornement. If I take care of it, it will take care of me.
