should man be just as cruel as nature?

It is man's sacred duty to best nature. What nature does well, man must do better. What nature does poorly, man must do worse. Only by outperforming nature at every turn can man know progress.
Nature is lazy, adopting strategies that are good enough. Its selectivity is non-existent. It cares not how well something is done, only that it
is done.
The burden of excellence falls to the fickle creature that is man, trapped in the maddening dissonance of enlightenment and primitive inclination. It is in that dissonance, steeped in the estuary of self-righteousness where the chilling waters of reason meet the warm sea of emotion that man finds purpose
May ever man know his rightful place as master of the institution nature has furnished of its own apathy.
