Systems of nature

Systems aren't objective entities that live outside of nature. They are from it and of it.

They are manifestations of nature.

The incentives they run off are the very things that make all living systems function in daily life.

They are therefore neither right nor wrong.

But nor does that mean that you need to move along through them without questioning or challenging why they move and flow as they do.

They are driven to survive the same way you are driven to survive. But the misstep is to treat that as the end.

To mistake mere survival for the whole of life.

Systems of nature may dictate the rhythms of daily life. They don’t, however, need to define your relationship to them.

To confuse the two streams of existence is to confuse your very place in the universe.
