Nature

The balance of nature is all around us, a constant back and forth, cause and effect reactions, that keep the world itself running smoothly as possible.  This push and pull kind of system is of course made up of what was previously stated, air, water, land, flora, and animals including humans in the animal category as well.  All of these things make up what we know to be nature, or the natural world.  It is hard to pinpoint exactly what the balance of nature is, as it would take tears of study that I do not have, but I can certainly take a guess of what I believe the balance of nature is and how it kind of works.  The systems of nature is kept in balance with millions of push and pull chains where when something happens such as a tree dies, another one is created with a seed and so on and so forth.  Things such as food chains are another huge way the balance of nature is maintained.  Without proper food chains there would easily be an over population of some species as well as the drastic reduction of others, and would completely throw off the balance.  Continuing onward, another way nature keeps itself in balance is by using things like safety cushions such as when there is a forest fire and many of the trees are destroyed, a certain type of pine cones open up and release there seeds, this only happens when a fire occurs, providing a way for life to be reborn and start over again.  Other things such as when massive disasters happen and throw off the balance of nature, after only a few days new life is seen, it’s a miraculous thing to see, and it is a way nature compensates to situations, and eventually the balance is restored maintaining the cycle.  Humans I believe used to one with nature, and did not harm the balance of nature, but currently in today’s society we have gone to extremes and are destroying the place we live, to the point there will be no fixing what we have done.  The balance of nature and its system cannot handle what we are doing.  There is only so much nature can do, and when we are working against her at such a jaw dropping rate, it is a battle nature cannot win.  Things such a emissions from cars, trucks, train, factories and so forth, are putting so much pollution into the air nature simple cannot keep up, and it is scary to think soon it will reach the point of no return.  Things such as the oil spills in the ocean will linger for years and years and in some cases will never return back to its original state.  We are tearing apart our land, and we are traveling on a path straight to hell.  The amount of fuels we use is so much; we will run out in the next 100 or so years if we do not find more.  Global warming is real, and very much alive, and the rate we are going earth will no longer be a livable place anymore.
