The Philosophy of Nature

Nature refers to what we see in the physical world which encompasses life in general.  It is derived from an ancient word that means birth pertaining perhaps to qualities and characteristics that are intrinsic to living things and other features found in the world.  More than geology and wildlife, nature also refers to the way things are and how they change in their own accord.

When we speak of the course of nature, we are referring to how things will proceed in their natural and expected order.  This is in effect saying that nature will take its course with or without human intervention.  It would appear that nature follows its own laws and will not bow down to human direction forever.

When we allow nature to take its course, we do not intervene.  We simply let what ought to happen prevail.  Humans allow this usually when they acknowledge the truth that they cannot control nature at all.  Any semblance of control over nature is but temporary since the independence of nature from human control soon manifests itself in due time.

When we cut trees to the extremes and suffer flooding after, isn’t that a way that nature says to humans that there are consequences for going against nature.  When we dump our garbage in rivers and suffer the stench of ten times more than amount of garbage when the ocean dumps them back, isn’t that a way that nature says that humans deserve what they get?

The philosophy of nature is simple.  Every being and thing in this world has a purpose.  Humans will be wise to observe and respect everything which they share the world with.  Humans should not take offense to nature since there is bound to be retaliation in the natural course of things.

Global Warming – Why Only Now? (Part 2)

by

The mouse you use, the computer I used to make this post, all of these are wonders of modern technology that has made life way easier that it was a few years back but all of these stuff contain or involved the use of extremely toxic substances that all have to go somewhere (guess where)?
Developed countries have the might and will to engage and develop sustainable economic growth but what about the majority of people on earth who live in developing economies (wait they have uses, they receive the trash of others so we don’t have to worry about them).
Power is one of the most polluting industries the world over yet we consume lots and lots of electricity for we are addicted to it. That iPod, PSP, Cellular Phone, etc.; all of them consume tons upon tons of electricity (take the new iPhone and multiply the power consumed by one charge and multiply it by the number of units sold and you’d get the picture). We are way past the point of no return and we have to pay attention to the so-called “nuts/activists” you get mad at who caused the traffic jam on your way to work for what they are saying is true, life is getting harder and harder each and everyday. We humans are the only ones who have the ability to talk and communicate with each other and what about the millions of GOD’s other creatures we kill directly or indirectly through our actions, who’s listening to them?
Global warming is an old issue the real issue is that we are now faced with an inconvenient truth, WE HAVE TO LISTEN NOW, or else!!!!??????!!…..
