I think alot about things, in fact if your interested with this new idea i have, maybe you can click on my avatar and see my last question. Back to the subject, I have been thinking about the balance and nature and how people say humans disrupt this balance, but arent we also built into the balance of nature? Sure, you can argue that we mass produce our food, so we are constantly growing, no matter if there is a drought or famine. But i think that our minds are different so we would all polarize to different groups, and fight each other. I hear people say that they wish there could be world peace, but its part of nature, we are made to fight each other so we dont overproduce. Like in this video i saw about an island in the pacific. There is an airborne fungus that gets into almost ever species on the island and kills them. After the fungus kills them it spreads to the rest of the colony if its an ant. I found this fascinating because it was the balance of nature at its purest form.

there is no question mr.pillmd, i simply want to know people's views on how we humans fit into the nature of this planet.

Saying that violence is unnatural and is "learned" is extremely false. Your reasoning in that i dont get, it counters itself. If you learn something that is not part of the human nature then where did the person who taught you it get it from?

Please excuse my wacky answer, but I didn't wan to tailor it too much. My gut said this when I read your question:
Protons, neutrons, and electrons -- One whole with a core of positive and neutral and the surrounding negative... In a pure form of anything, this is what happens.

Violence is a term we give when we don't psychologically appreciate what's happening. Other life forms might try to survive, but when a natural disaster (so to say) happens to humans, we must take Zoloft for PTSD (nothing wrong with this because we're humans).

I think violence is a term best used away from nature and better applied when referencing human behavior... violent murder, violent rape... etc. I think that using violent to describe nature equates an earthquake with a rape, and on many levels that is wrong, although survivors of both will likely feel violated... Then it all goes back to our human understanding of what just happened.

Food for thought...

Take good care,
Sense

When someone says something is unnatural you must ask yourself...does this particular thing exist. If so....then it must be natural. ANd just because something does not exist...does not prove that something is unnatural. Unnatural being something that exist spontaneously in nature. We humans are very natural...and everything we do is part of our respective natures.

The problem with macroscopic and microscopic pespectives is that they consistantly fail to recognize the whole...the Omniscopic..."i think I just coined a new word, but that is okay...it illustrates my point". We think that since we are not attached to the earth...like say a tree...that we are not a functioning part of the earth. That is incorrect...we are very much apart of the earth and all its ecosystems. Just because something happens that we view as bad...like murder or the extinction of a species...doens not me that it was wrong or unnatural. All things happen for a reason. All things are moving inevitably to some state unlike the current state.

When we build factories to help make it easier to feed and clothe the poor...we are at the same time polluting and destroying the environment. When we make war and kill thousands upon thousands of people...we stimulate the economy and still manage to help those people. THere is no good or evil.

i would say yes, we are built into the balance of nature, but at the same time, we make "unnatural productions" and hence the pollution from these causes unbalance,
there is still plenty of room on the earth, so the concept of over population isnt even a factor yet, nor is overproduction of food or the natural activities we do a problem

war, and violence, to me are not a natural part of being human, its a result of how children are taught, what gets passed down from generation to generation
until we all as a people, the USA included, outlaw the hitting of children, especially by their parents who are suppose to love and care for them, how care we possibly expect them to grow up and be non-violent, though many manage to do so.
we call hitting assault in all other cases, though we allow self-defense, yet we try to pretty it up and call it spanking when its done to a child, if an adult needs to defend theirselves against a child by hitting, the adult needs help!

Nature isn't a element which could think of or plan, so i does no longer say it somewhat is "making plans" something. what's at artwork is the mechanic of entire inhabitants vs donning potential. there are countless aspects, mutually with source intake according to person, source regeneration time the place appropriate, etc. yet short answer sure, human inhabitants has exploded to what many evaluate previous the earth's donning potential. Artificially inflated by ability of petroleum-based agriculture and present day drugs. it would desire to be argued that by using fact many human beings are over ingesting, there is a good number of donning potential left. notwithstanding i do no longer think of a lot of human beings would be prepared to proceed to exist a bowl of rice an afternoon for the sake of having extra human beings around. sure, issues will stability out by ability of themselves - notwithstanding that's no longer a reason to do no longer something. there are countless documented examples of this happening to numerous species with out of control growth like the rabbit or mouse infestations in Australia, or perhaps basically micro organism in a petri dish. The inhabitants explodes exponentially, peaks and then crashes while components run out. all of us comprehend growth will unavoidably end, all of us comprehend human beings cant keep multiplying perpetually. The question is HOW will it end. by ability of human beings coming up a sustainable civilization? Or by ability of civilization crashing from loss of components, the subsequent mass famine and a great inhabitants drop. Sustainable civilization is the factor of environmentalism. Its no longer the earth we are attempting to maintain - its us. If we take the micro organism interior the petri dish occasion, "issues balancing out of course" ability the tip of present day human civilization.
