The earth as a self-sustaining organism.

I would say that the Gaia hypothesis is pretty similar to my outlook on life, because I do see earth as something that self-sustains itself in a way, because even with all that the earth went through it still somehow manages to live a long time, I even agree with the fact that we kind of depend on the earth to survive, because think about it, it's the earth that provides us with a place to stay, to breath, the place that gives us food, the connections with the people we live with and it's the only place that we can survive. So we aren't really the dominant life form on the planet, are we?
