Mother Nature

"Had Mother Nature been a real parent, she would have been in jail for child abuse and murder" — Nick Bostrom "To hate man and worship God seems to be the sum of all creeds" — Robert G. Ingersoll "Si Dieu n'exist pas, il faudrat l'inventer" — Voltaire "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing (...) Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going" — Stephen Hawking

There's nothing more terrifying than reality. Nothing in reality more terrifying than nature. Whilst we abstract the amount of sentient beings, impossible to number, as we collect them under the realm of an idyllic "nature", we close our eyes to the meaning of suffering. Only about 10% of wild animals will ever reach adult age. There's no magic switch to turn the life on the planet on or off.
