Nature's Favoured Offspring


 

What do we really know? All that is worth

knowing, we have convinced ourselves. The

species whose conceit of exceptionalism assures

that we are nature's favourite offspring. We are

subservient to nature and all else that exists bows

to our superiority. Nothing, however, stops us

from challenging nature, stretching the boundaries

of her expectations when she designed habitat for

each of her creatures, watching with patience and

curiosity as impudent humanity began devising

an increasingly diverse environment of shelters

spurning the habitation lesser creatures settle for

while endlessly speculating and experimenting with

the vast plethora of nature's building blocks, an 

explosion of science confusing itself with nature

daring to explore new horizons, remote, isolated

utterly alien to replace the home nature specifically

designed to contain humanity's destructive ambition.

From the dawn of human existence to the present

one bold scheme following another, using nature's

elements and her generosity to go farther and further

yet from humble and rude habitat to rule the Galaxy

leaving nature bemused and amused at her feeble

offspring laying waste to their haven spinning on 

its axis and trembling in anxious trepidation.
