"Yeah... but the media and the movies and our own psyche say otherwise". Sure, nothing beats a stroll in nature. I love hiking and meditating while hearing the birds chirp, the grasshoppers creak, the squirrels squeak, and the chipmunk meep. Who doesn't? But alas I must warn you, you've been deceived! Nature is not the tranquil shire-like environment you imagine it to be. Those cute birds are nothing but vicious killers. killers I tells ya! They go on decimating countless living critters. They ain't vegetarian. Those cute chirps are nothing but vicious blood lusting calls of satisfaction as they gulp down wiggling worms, and various insects still teeming with life. The ground you step on as you prance happily on your journey through the forests, are the burial grounds of billions of generations dead creatures of all shapes and sizes. And next time you take an appreciative gaze onto the trees, note that they too are not so innocent. All of them competing with eachother for sun light and space, and dirt, from whence they suckle on the decayed matter of those who died before them. Not so peaceful after all.

And is nature 'our' friend? That's yet another modern fairytale. Scorpions, snakes, mushrooms, poison ivy, malaria, Lyme disease (perphaps not?), sun burn, are all all-natural products, certified organic, and 100 percent GMO free, but they'll kill ya just the same.
