      At any moment occurred to me and I lost a childhood friend at a very young age and never did get over that. That was August 31st, 1979 so I disagree with the sovereign statement. To acknowledge curious minds, we were in a car accident, I was lucky, my friend not. I do agree that value life as the most important state that anyone can have.

      @@muhaimin244 Point is no matter what, life is constantly being challenged. From inception of the planet/stars being obliterated constantly so the chance for life are miniscule to disease killing biological life and space generally being unfriendly to biology.
      Once we merge with AI (we will) and truly leave our material bodies (we will have material bodies for the sake of pleasure and choice) there will always be something trying to destroy, even synthetic/AI life. Whether thats super novas, computer viruses etc. No matter how hard we try to be immortal, entropy will always find a way to erase us.

    The world was created perfectly. Not humans but the physical world itself. The clouds ⛅️ the plants 🌱 the trees 🌲 the ocean 🌊 the rocks 🪨 the soil is all PERFECT. And all remedies for every sickness,disease and virus 🦠 are in the jungle in the plants and trees and leaves 🍁 there is where you find all your healing medicines. Nature provides the world with exactly what it needs.

      Diseases and ailments are caused by a slew of things, but chiefly microbes, like bacteria and viruses.
      A cure is a solution to said ailments and diseases in order to restore and maintain health.
      Nature is vast, but I'm very sure it doesn't have the cure to every interaction we'd have with microbes etc, just available somewhere.
      All the cures and remedies you see in nature came about through species adapting to each other's survival strategy and effects (fueled by evolution), and the process described in this video is just our history of taking advantage of that.
      Perfection is one of those words that can't exist in a vacuum. It's relative and thus requires a standard to be judged by and determined.
      "Nature is perfect" is a statement that needs context.
      To anyone who's read this, I hope my words have been a bit insightful to you~

      I mean i agree with mostly all your points but your forgetting that the reason of people eating and being more active is to cause less suffering on your body and potentially living longer. Say, if your born and start eating mcdonalds instead of more healthier foods your going to have problems at a very young age, thus causing your body to die at a more faster rate than someone who eats a more balanced diet. Correct me if im wrong but the reason why I wrote this is because I may have misread your statement because of the confusing grammar
