Nature is beautiful, intense, fragile, unforgiving, but it is nature. In nature creatures live together, coexisting but mindful of the need to survive. I cannot say I know of any sea creatures that kill just for the sake of it, that let greed overcome the true sense of awareness. If humankind were to vanish, nature would take care of itself quite nicely, but as up it stands, we are likely to destroy it all. 🙂 🙂 🙂

I don’t think humans are quite so powerful as we like to think we are. I don’t believe we have the power to destroy it all. Even after nukes nature finds a way. I do agree that when we are gone nature will manage itself quite well. Animals are brutally violent for reasons, actually some of the same reasons as humans. To eat, to protect, territorial issues, to insure a stronger chance at survival for the healthier seed, to gain power and supremacy in their group etc. natural weather, such as storms, earthquakes, fire those lack reasoning and their randomness creates new growth. I lived in nature, it was my hiding place for a good deal of my childhood it makes sense to me. People always have a reason for what they do too. Their reasoning may be what we consider insane but still, they have reasons… I suppose I’m drifting, it’s late. I like your points
Further to my thought, I do hear what you say about the power of humans, and I qualify and concur here.
Humans are not as powerful, but they are dangerous and work with little regard for much else. They are overly intelligent, so much so that they are too stupid for their one good. My great fear is that we will destroy so much life, life that at the moment maintains the balance in nature, and then in turn destroy it all. As an explanation, sharks are at the top of the ocean food chain. Their feeding patterns helps keep species in check, which in turn keeps other species in check and so on, but without them, species can overpopulate and over feed and that will to some extent destroy lesser species and eventually the food chain is stuffed. Now I know you may say that is an example of the brutality of nature, but the fact is it is humans messing with nature. Nature sees populations of animals die to the last few, with the strongest surviving, and just at that last moment things come good and they populate once more, the race lives. Man destroys habitat and creatures for greed and will wipe whole species out, not giving a thought. Other than war, or massive natural disasters (Comet collision), humans breed and grow in huge numbers and are gradually filling up the space we have, polluting the oceans and destroying all that keeps us alive.
Believe me, the ocean is a wonderful place, as the image sums up. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I don’t, nature is beautiful, but rather brutal
