ecology

.
"Ecology" is defined in part by an Internet dictionary as

the study of the environment and the way that plants, animals, and humans live together and affect each other

Strange how the interconnectedness and dependency of plants, animals and humans can be accepted and understood without a second thought and yet is not equally acceptable when it comes to the walking-around facts in the human mind.

Love, war, money, shoe laces, anxiety, joy, pancakes, hatred, movies, mountains, thirst, sneezing, intellect, drive-by shootings, spiritual wisdom, etc. etc.: Such things are separated and distinguished, 'opposites' are detected, and preferences are imposed as if this made any actual-factual sense.

How does this compute?
