Nature does have an “interest” in making things hard?

The personification of Mother Nature is not inherently a bad thing. It’s a naming and colloquial understanding of a complicated cycle of life and death. With life comes death and continued life only can exist with pain and struggle. There is no aspect of joy that can exist without pain. That’s all ppl mean. Life and death. Beginnings and endings. She gives and takes.

And yes it is a triumph of human existence that in many ways we feel we’ve risen above all these banal nature inconveniences - but it’s ultimately an illusion. We are also just fragile worms with naked skin and low cold tolerance. To think we’re above the pain and death of a winter is a mockery of “Mother Nature”. Which is just to say it’s a joke to imply that we’re a immune to the dangers of a cold winter. All of life is victim to death, eventually.

The fact that winter is seen more as an annoyance rather than a threat to our very survival or a powerful hurdle to overcome must be such a slap in the face to mother nature.
