Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere-Blaise Pascal

If you think of nature as everywhere and nowhere this isn't a bad place to start. If you have ever walked or sat in the deep wilderness with no one else around you can easily get to this place. Some people are afraid of the wilderness, especially if they have only spent their lives in cities worldwide. However, I was taught to love and appreciate wilderness and have found consolation in wilderness everywhere.

I tend to see wilderness as sensible and balanced if left to it's own devices. However, cities I find are more insane than anything else and disruptive and in many ways completely not useful for human life to continue.

This is the paradox that we all live in I guess where the things that humans create can best be seen as an art form and temporary whereas nature left to it's own devices without harm by man is more permanent.

However, it's also true that Nature is constantly evolving into something else as our ecosystem changes through ice ages and heat waves.

In fact the precursor to ice ages is also global warming if you study the history of ice ages too. So, likely we are either going towards another ice age or else we will go to 600 to 800 degrees sort of like the planet Venus one of the two.
