Things derive their being and nature by mutual dependence and are nothing in themselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
According to the Law of Cause and Effect, every effect must have a cause. In other words, everything that happens has a catalyst; everything that came into being has something that caused it. Things don't just happen by themselves.
Things explain each other, not themselves.
It can't be Nature, for it is not sense.
Everything lives and lasts by the inner necessity of its being, by its own nature's need.
Yes, I am well aware that nature - or what we call nature: that totality of objects and processes that surrounds us and that alternately creates us and devours us - is neither our accomplice nor our confidant.
Thing, body, matter, are nothing apart from the combinations of the elements, - the colours, sounds, and so forth - nothing apart from their so-called attributes.
All living things are gnarly, in that they inevitably do things that are much more complex than one might have expected.
There is no dependence that can be sure but a dependence upon one's self.
Nature... is nothing but the inner voice of self-interest.
Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.
