Nature cares not for the whims and good deeds of man-it is what it is, a system of survival. Some die so others can live and visa-versa. Energy is taken-changed/released-but always present in some way. Mans' complicated 'systems' which he invents and invests into more often times hurts natures' system than helps it because of the basic nature of these self-serving selfish endeavours. An economy, the commerce and material gain in which these systems cater to only bring man further away from the original meaning of life and survival.
One could even site four major events in man's quest for technology and "modern convenience" which led us to the mess we're in now

1)(and this IS in order)The most important and evil event of all was the inception of The Central Bank(a.k.a. The Fed Reserve as shown in Zeitgeist)in which their was no other possible outcome than to enslave the mid and lower class(is there even a middle class anymore?)with every dollar made put on loan with a never ending fluctuation in interest, leading to ETERNAL debt!

(2)In the late 1800's Industry made a fierce uprising giving way to incredible technology and the introduction to some very nasty pollution mostly from oil and coal.(3)In the 1950's we took everything we learned through clever inventions and industry to create modern marvels and groundbreaking strides in technology to start custom fitting every household with these "wonderful modern conveniences".(4)With all the wonderful conveniences and technologies that most of us saw as an "increase" in freedoms we paved the way for the future of societies fully distracted by entertainment and mass media bringing us to the issues of today.
Quite possibly the biggest downfall of humankind is enabling others who are only concerned about their own capital gain to fully manipulate and take advantage of us all through the weaknesses known as gullibility and naivety. A Psyche that is always seeking his place in the universe-A desire or hunger that is never satisfied with what it has. Which of course is where the TRUE darkness moves in and caters to lust and greed. The "Belief System" is by far the most evil-enabling fabricated structure ever conceived throughout history. Just breakdown both words individually:Belief; To believe. To accept something as truth even without actual physical evidence-see also faith. Belief by definition does not adhere to ANY actual 100% definable attribute in the natural order of things. In fact NOTHING really BELIEVES in anything except for humans, automatically giving an ego-boost and a "hierarchy of thought" to ALL humans which cater to SEPERATION in an otherwise connected universe. Now for the word "system"; An order of perpetual happening for some purpose or goal as defined by it's origin whether explainable or not.
Hmmm, put them together and you could really do whatever you wanted as long as you had people to back you and it, huh? It causes me great mental anguish to think how people(including my own family)have given themselves over to an idea that CAN NEVER be fully proven merely to "save" something which they cannot even concretely define with complete rationality or prove that it NEEDS saving(from what?-momma says that's the Deeevil).
The truth is, if you come up with ANY kind of belief in which their are holes large enough to fill in whatever others want-you open yourself up to MANY different possible definitions to be manipulated infinitely. If every individual is running around with their own "personal definition" of a "truth" then where is the order? Where is the actual truth? Doesn't that just mean that all existence is-is just an overall individual perception of reality? No, these are just distractions-to make the intangible-physical-to make reality, inevitably fantasy. Meanwhile the puppet masters laugh as they pull your strings to run around the same old hamster wheel for an average of 60-80 years trying to put purpose to an existence that lost it's meaning when you replaced a simple life of love and friendship with the pursuit of "things".
