The destruction of nature is very difficult to repair. It is because humans did not realize what they did. Who can restore it because it will not be re-created. Nature sues, only God that can fix it. The existence of religion is to make self-control, eliminate all traits which contradict each other, reconcile and be aware of its creator. There are some marriage rules of Sunda religion.
