Nature counters pollution with systems that redistribute toxins, restoring balance.
Yet, purity is elusive—creation and destruction intertwine, and every act of purification risks new pollution.
Philosophically, no “natural state” exists; everything evolves dynamically with no set point in the past to draw comfort from and no fixed lines in the present upon which to rest.
Lessons emerge: poison is simple, purity complex; destruction easy, creation hard.
