i second the fact that we're a part of nature but it also follows that so are all of our vices.
nature and the whole of being are alive with all of the properties we like to call uniquely human.
it's not a matter of us being good or bad or us travelling to the stars or not.
it's a matter of everything including humans (and toaster ovens) just living life,
unfolding the story of this universe as we go from the known into the unknown and making some ad money on the way.
all of the posts here including this one are just ripples on the big wave of life.

p.s: in response to an earlier post here: lao-tze will still be correct even if humanity ceased to exist.
