The best of De Telegraaf
Mother nature, a new deity, is a preposterous concept. We too are part of nature. We come from nature and we return to nature. In the end we become food for all kinds of critters, unless we are cremated. When we started walking like bipedal animals, our emancipation from nature began. Because nature is our friend and at the same time our enemy. There were and are animals that want to eat us and there are also microscopic creatures that can cause fatal diseases in humans. The sun is not always helpful either: think of dryness, skin cancer, etc.
