OK i am more than a bit confused about something. My entire life i have always wondered when was it that we officially removed ourselves from nature. Whats the deal with that? Why would we have ever done such a thing, makes no sense to me. Could someone please help me understand how this could have happened. If i go hiking through a forest and decide to cut down a tree or hell light it on fire for kicks. How is that not a natural occurrence? I am a part of nature just as much as anything on the planet. Nuclear bombs are all natural, if you consider everything we get to make them came from nature at one point. Even if we modify something by any means at all its still natural. Do twigs somehow become unnatural when they are made into a birds nest? Are cities natural? Just as natural as an ant hill. If a volcano erupts wreaking havoc and destruction on the area around it. Its considered an act of nature. If bombs explode though that's not an act of nature? If a beaver dams up a river that's an act of nature. Yet if we decide to dam a river that's somehow different. It aggravates me to hear people saying that things are unnatural or artificial. Or to pay more for something that's all natural, I just cant see how that's even possible. Man made or found in the earth its all the same. Somethings may not be good for the planet or for our survival but they are still 100% natural. I see our cities and all the things we have created are natural as anything else in the universe.
The plus side is that if we view things from this different perspective that everything is part of everything else. Then there is reason to care more about what happens to the planet and its inhabitants. Its harder to feel like we are somehow above or better than nature. Maybe more people will think twice if they realise its a part of us. We tend to take better care of things that we are closely related to. I would love to hear a convincing argument as to why we even consider the opposite to these statements, or how i am wrong. Send me your wisdom.... Peace

I'll argue with you just for the fun of it....but not till I am duly caffeinated and have had adequate time to formulate a decent rebuttal. *grin*
all that technology to make our lives easier. all we managed to do was make it more complicated. and that's human nature at it's finest.
