It means you have made a typographical error, and a grammatical error. What it does it mean to you if I say, 'Don't go against nature?' It means that you are aware of one of the basic prinicples of Taoism (Daoism).

I believe you are referring to "Natural Law Philosophy". The belief that what is natural is what is right. Whatever is, is what ought to be. This is a dangerous line of reasoning. How does one define what is natural. Is it what occurs most commonly in nature, or whatever can occur in nature? People walk on their feet. Walking on your feet is natural. Is walking on your hands sinful? It is certainly not natural. If you do no unnatural acts, you do only what your body was designed to do. But who decides what your body's limitations are? Are you violating God's plan if you can play ping pong with your feet? Most often these things are applied to topics such as homosexuality, abortion, artificial insemination, cloning, anything seen as abnormal. Is everything natural right? Is everything unnatural wrong? I don't think things are that simple.

It means you must not go against the natural ways. Respect its nature as it is otherwise you will be creating troubles with it. The good nature of man is inherent in every individual. Don't try to insult on their salient character or go against it. You will be in trouble.

It means whoever said it was foolish. We have the natural capacity for anger, rage, jealously, possessiveness, killing - as well as kinder and wiser ways. It's only intelligence and wisdom that can ultimately lead us to choose wiser ways. External controls can always break down. Internal ones don't. That's why religious and other taught precepts are no substitute for thinking.

Nature and natural are those funny judgments that our species make.
Does it matter to a spider if it climbs an artificially constructed wall, or a naturally constructed tree? This is only a distinction that we preoccupy ourselves with.
Religion is unnatural. We are all born atheists.
