Nature Is Metal
Need 📽 by @stagrcast Anthropomorphism is the act of attributing human emotions and moral codes to non-human entities. This is considered an innate tendency of human psychology. Nature doesn't possess intention, ethics, or malice; it is a system of checks and balances, a complex web where life and death, predation and parasitism, symbiosis and competition are all interlinked. In evolutionary terms, what might appear as "cruel" is often a byproduct of strategies that have been successful for survival and reproduction. For example, why would a parasite evolve to be so detrimental to its host? The answer is often that doing so enhances the parasite's ability to spread or reproduce, even though this comes at the expense of the host organism. The same logic applies to predators, whose hunting techniques might seem gruesome but are the result of generations of natural selection optimizing for efficiency in capturing and consuming prey. Moreover, the "cruelty" we perceive may actually contribute to ecological balance. Predation often targets the sick, old, or weak, leading to stronger prey populations. Some "cruel" behaviors like infanticide in lions have evolved because it resets the reproductive cycle of the females in the pride, allowing the new male to sire offspring and thereby spread his genes. While individual events in nature can seem brutal or cruel when viewed in isolation, they often make sense within the broader context of ecological balance and evolutionary pressures. It's a system not of ethical considerations, but of biological imperatives. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

I agree and know this…but the affect it has on some of us is still a valid and real experience and for various reasons…nature does as it does and sometimes it will be painful to witness/know about. 💔
