The main difference between Humanity and Nature

Question from the Internet:

“Colonisation exists throughout the animal kingdom. Humans are not unique in such regard. Do you agree or disagree?”

Human beings have an interesting inclination, to try to find activities and structures in Nature we call “human-like” behaviour or structure, in order to justify what we do. This is typical of our misguided, egocentric intellect, viewing everything through our own life and existence.

But it is not animals who have “human-like” behaviour or structures. Human beings are like animals, we are born from, we evolved from the same Natural system, we are simply more sophisticated in doing what animals do and of course, we extrapolate, augment whatever we do to elevate us above everything else.

There is a big difference though.

Animals might be doing similar things to us on the surface, but they never leave the general balance and homeostasis Nature’s laws determine. That general balance and homeostasis are constantly maintained and this way or that way overpopulation, overconsumption and excessive “colonization” are corrected until the balance is restored.

Humanity is different. Our increasingly developed human system is increasingly more disconnected and opposite to Nature’s balance. It is not that we ignore this balance, we do not even comprehend or know what Nature’s balance is and how it is maintained.

We are all born without the blind, instinctive sense of integration all other parts (still, vegetative and animal) are born with. We are making up our own unnatural, arbitrary laws and systems as we go, only focusing on our own self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric and subjective calculations and actions.

So it does not matter what animals do, how seemingly they behave like us. They are automatically and instinctively integrated into Nature, never harming the overall balance and homeostasis while we are against and outside of the system, constantly threatening the overall balance and the life of the whole system.

This is the root cause of all our problems and if we want to understand and solve the ever-increasing and increasingly threatening problems humanity is facing, we will need to learn how to adapt to Nature’s all-encompassing mutual integration — through first of all mutually integrating with each other.

Then, when we reached at least partial similarity and some level of mutual integration with Nature we will start to understand how the system works and why animals and other parts of Nature behave the way they do.
