You have stated many facts supporting your contention that Nature is
Evil. Yes, Nature is indeed cruel, sometimes. But I hope that you are
also receptive to some other facts you neglected to mention, showing
that Nature is also nurturing.

What about the mother caring for the cub? Is that not an instance of the
strong caring for, rather than eliminating the weak?

What about parasitism? You might contend that such an action is the
triumph of Evil, but then, consider that the parasite is usually the
weaker organism. It flourishes through it's dependence on a stronger
entity.

You also mentioned trees that shield out sunlight. Once again, merely
observing that this kills off some other trees dependant on sunlight, is
a one-sided view of the situation. There are also many other plants
residing under the forest canopy that would quickly meet their end if
they were exposed to the sun's harsh rays all day long.

There are many other examples of how Nature can be Good, but I will not
bore anyone with them now. I am sure that anyone who has spent time in
Nature will be able to come up with their own list.

Notice though, that I said that Nature -can- be good. In totality,
though, Nature is neither Good nor Evil. It strives for balance. An
harmonious existence that supports neither the seven truths of Evil or
the objectives of Good, if all is taken into account. Nature is, simply,
natural.

You also chastise the Druids for trying to control Nature. I assure you,
from my many years of dealing with Druids, that that is not so, for the
most part. Yes, I'm sure it does happen. But that would make them a
-bad- Druid. Some might even say an evil one...

Naturally yours,
