Madness of mankind...

Of recent I have heard the stupidest thing that mankind can assume. Now human beings are deciding about what is natural and what is not. Since when did a species is given the right to do that? Especially the one species that had done almost all unnatural things that one cannot even think about.

Since when did it become natural to:
...destroy natural habitat to create an artificial one to live in.
...tame individuals of other species for ones own benefit.
...mess around with the order of nature to create new species or cause mutation in the existing one.
...breed among the siblings of a particular species.

Nature has its own ways to say "it's unnatural!"
like to :
...discard abnormal foetus in form of miscarriage.
...shorten life span of deformed newborns.
...wipe out of species that cause harm to the earth.

These are a few things that I could think of as examples. So in short I want to say that let nature decide what is unnatural, for human beings still have not attained the position above nature. For god's sake get over the false idea of us being the decision-maker.

And now a few examples where some things that are a part of nature yet are considered unnatural by mankind (how idiotic!):
...patterns and discolouration in plants is accepted as variegated while the same condition in human beings (vitiligo) is considered ugly and still socially unacceptable.
...some male penguins are seen to form a couple with another male, adopt a stone as egg, reject any advances from the female counterparts and even raise an orphan offspring as its own. Yet homosexuality is considered criminal act and looked down upon by the society.

We don't have much time...we have done enough damage to the nature for it to take a toll. So lets have a peaceful life for as much time as we have and let nature decide its course. It's time when human beings understand their role on the earth and not try to over-rule it.

if nature does not discriminate against any individual then we dont have any right to do so either.

Dear Keepsaker,
All that is in nature is natural...you have furnished some great examples to buttress your point.
