In which case, shouldn't you be thanking him for living in someplace
that's "practically hostile to human habitation", and not picking this
beautiful meadow that you so adore?

That is, until you step on a sharp rock and, due to your unclad feet,
yelp in pain and stumble into a hornets' nest nearby, where the denizens
of said nest chase you across that beautiful meadow until you run into
a majestic old tree, knocking yourself out, and allowing the hornets to
swarm over you, stinging your body, allowing you to wake up in agonizing
pain, and limp back out of this sanctuary (as you got stung on your feet
as well).
