Mother Nature is a Bitch

I am particularly bothered when someone makes reference to the disharmony that humans cause to nature. Which is true, however, it's not that nature is innocent and benign, it's just that humans acquired more means than it (than the rest of "it", I should say, since we're also part of it). The myth of a benevolent nature is a Pocahontas-inspired lie, the concept ironically also a human invention.
In the vineyards there are two plants attacking the grape plants. One is very weed-looking, stingy, dry and coarse, which grows next to the grape plants waiting to sap their nutrients, like and ugly bully. They're easily destroyed as they are frail.
The other attacker though is something they call an American Vine. This vine pops out of the ground right next to the trunk of the grape plant, trying to pass by unnoticed, climbing up the plant, entwining itself around it as it climbs. It starts with a darkish red color with spots of green, though progressively changes chameleonlike to match the green of its victim, it's leaves becoming of similar shape and size to the point where the untrained eye might mistake them, this whilst they keep sapping on the host's water, sunlight and nutrients. They're also terribly resistant. While the grape plant is frail and its branches break with a light tug, it takes actual human arm strength to sever the American from the ground, and it doesn't die, but grows stronger if not pulled by the very root, simply biding its time patiently until the theat as passed to it can resume its intrusion.
Sometimes there isn't even a grape plant anymore where it was supposed to be, but a group of vines triumphantly poised on the supports intended for the plants, its stems never growing into a trunk, the mark of a true parasite.
This vine is the businessman, the lawyer, the agent, it's no less self-serving as its human counterparts, the rest of nature is just as ruthless and selfish. Keep yourself alive. There is no benevolence in nature, there as never been a being on Earth, besides humans, who made efforts to protect other species. Our survivalist evil and the overpowering means we developed to tame nature are massive, but we try to be benevolent. Nature won't be when it consumes our constructions back into itself.

Addendum: I was wrong about a lot of this. The truth is much darker.
