Nature and being natural

Anything which caters to instincts and nature is natural. That way a lion killing a goat is natural, dogs biting humans are natural but a human biting a dog is unnatural. And to all these there is a method. The method that limits us to what is being natural. When I cry, shout, fight, scratch ...its all natural but when I take a knife and try to kill then it becomes un natural. We are attributed with all the instincts right from compassion to violence but the violence must be restrained. It must not become that destructive that we become a lower being instantly. I think that’s the difference between being natural and being un natural.

People have used and overused the word natural until it no longer has a really clear meaning. Sometimes I think natural is whatever the personal calling it natural wants it to be. It is in the realm of the natural to do all sorts of anti-social things, but our laws and mores forbid most of the worst of these things.

Hi Alok .I think that it is as natural as the grass is made to be eaten by the Goat. People who finds this gruesome turns into eating vegetable and grass themselves. It seems so unnatural that the plants and grass who too grow and breed don't shout.

Nature and natural to me are actions, representations or events that occur through little or no actual planning, conscious thought or manipulation. These are things that occur by default because it is just how things are! Instinct for example is a natural behaviour as you can't plan it! You either have it at times or you don't. It's a sub-conscious act. Anything that goes against these flows or is consciously undertaken deviates into the unnatural. I believe my own lines of thought are very similar to your own then.
