Hi everyone,
This is my first post, so I just wanted to keep it simple.
I was pondering apon the notion of where the lines between things that are natural become unnatural. Or is the term unnatural just a man made fallacy?
The definition of natural - of, existing in, or formed by nature.
It might seem strange, but we are natural. We are as natural as the planets and stars. Earth made each and every one of us. Our thoughts are part of us, so they must be natural, so our creations must be natural too.
We see technology as unnatural but it's made of the Earth, and by us. To me this fits the definition of natural.
The question I'm trying to ask is,
Are any of our creations and our technological advances really that unnatural? After all, why would nature give us the gift of thought and consciousness, if it wasn't natural for us to use it?
