Nature

The balance of nature, the balance of nature, I believe it is the simple balance of plants and animal life across the planet. It's the balance of life and the ground it stands upon. It's the actions and reactions that keep everything in check. It's life's system of maintaining homeostasis through earth's systems. It maintains the fragile balance through its encouragement of the various natural occurrences  like the water cycles, food chains, and the simple process of life and death unless your a lobster. The processes keep everything in check like when animal is killed which is eaten then the remains decay feeding the environment. I personally believe the world keeps itself in check by is seemingly various globe changing events. The natural world is in check to some degree but mostly has been thrown off course. Truly the great variable to the world has been humanity as it has evolved across many millennia. Humanity's evolution has given it highly advanced brains that have lead us to chose the impossible and sadly the unethical. In humanity's quest for resources we have dominated the planet and continue to abuse it in all our terrible sense of entitlement. We have destroyed the fauna and flora. We have terraformed and laid fire to the land. In our process of survival against ourselves we have thoroughly disrupted the planet. We strip ecosystems of predators and the prey. We destroy the homes and communities of thousands of species and organisms. We like a storm have interrupted nature and threaten the earth as a whole. We even arm ourselves to destroy the world with nuclear weapons and bioagents. We have turned earth into a habitat for only humanity. We no longer see the wholly mammoth or the buffalo thanks to us. The large beasts use to roam the land a part of an orderly ecosystem until we disturbed it. Then even now we seek to disrupt the new ecosystem by cloning the mammoth, truly to fix something already fixed. We do try to do right with the planet. We have cordoned off the most undisturbed of places to preserve nature. We have tried to use more nature friendly technology to prevent future destruction. Through the damage is done, humanity tried to rub ointment on earths gaping wound and is delusional in figuring it can fix it. Disaster can not be solved by its creator. We cannot fix the damage done by us as we cannot conceive what we have done. The only thing to fix nature is itself. Nature I believe will fix nature, it retakes things it's lost, it's fixes what is broken, and will right the wrongs done to it. It's an unstoppable process that will fix the damage done to it as we continue to be a part of nature. Nature constantly rebuilds itself and fights for itself it in a way is much like us in that it will do anything it needs to survive and prosper against all odds and oppressors.
