Half shower thought, half stoner thought. It may seem obvious, but I was dwelling on the point for a while, deeper and deeper.
We exist in a symbiotic relationship with nature, a sort of balanced trade of breaths. Trees release oxygen which we breathe in to survive, and in return, we release carbon dioxide that fuels their photosynthesis. In this manner, we are locked in a reciprocal, almost parasitic yet mutually beneficial relationship with nature.
We are entwined in an unending dance with the natural world, each sustaining the one other.

“mutually beneficial” and “parasitic” are mutually exclusive realities. “Mutually beneficial” means “you benefit and I benefit”, while “parasitic” means “I benefit, and you lose out”. It is impossible to be both at the same time.
