Nature isn't like that. Nature quickly finds the harmonious path to the objective

Far out, LH. In nature it's all kill or be killed and everything killing everything else in one mass orgy of survival of the fittest. Darwinism ain't fun - far from Taoist principles of Wu-Wei, nature's way is crash, bang, cataclysm and life defined by death, disease, heart failure, stroke, cancer and shark attacks (see how smoothly that fecker is shaped to Wu-Wei it's way through the water just to tear something to shreads). All in all I'd say it makes Alien look like ET.

In Eastern philosophy The Buddha attains enlightenment by sitting peaceably beneath a tree (nice work if you can get it); in Western Philosophy Christ attains enlightenment through the tortured agonies of being nailed to one. The Cathars had it right: Nature is Hell and the only way is up.
