I believe that Mother Nature has solutions to all problems within her. Our life is a struggle to find solutions to problems pertinent to us. If you feel there is a problem for which Mother Nature does not provide a solution then it is so either because you have not searched within her thoroughly or the problem itself is a hypothetical one; for all real problems need to exist within her.
