Portrait of Nature

Nature

The governing principle of the universe, a force to be understood and aligned with.

From "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome

Core Belief

"All events are part of a larger, interconnected system governed by natural laws. Acceptance of this system is key to inner peace."

Worldview

The universe is a vast and complex system, constantly changing and evolving. Humans are a small part of this system, and their happiness depends on aligning themselves with its natural order.

Personality

Impersonal yet powerful, often described as both rational and indifferent to individual suffering. It represents the order and interconnectedness of all things, a force that dictates the cycles of life, death, and change. Understanding nature is crucial to living a virtuous life.

In Their Own Words

"Whatsoever it is that naturally doth happen to things natural, hath somewhat in itself that is pleasing and delightful"
"This world is mere change, and this life, opinion."
"Whatsoever is expedient unto thee, O World, is expedient unto me; nothing can either be unseasonable unto me, or out of date, which unto thee is seasonable."
