An Interaction with Nature

 

During a recent excursion into the 'very' near woods I came across an abandoned campsite, which had a large fire circle, discarded and shattered beer bottles, dirty cloths, along with lots of trash spread across the ground. A scene many of us who have spent time in the foot hills of Colorado's front range have seen at lease once. After wondering around the surrounding woods and taking some traditional nature pictures I returned to the decrepit campsite.

While I was sitting and feeling disgusted with the people who do such things to nature and there surroundings, I stopped, and thought to myself. Is this not all nature? Is this trash, this decrepit scene not arising out of nature itself? After all, we are part of nature and what we do is natural, no matter what it is, no matter what it creates.

This concept is beautifully and simply rendered within Quantum Theory, which states that what arises out of the natural world is part of the natural world. That what man creates is part of nature and that sidewalks, and buildings all arise out of the same basic stuff that makes up all life on this planet. We are all particles interacting with one another, moving forward, moving backward, and moving up & down. So my question is, where do we end and nature begins?
