Nature and Morality

Does society use nature to describe morality? The complexities of nature and morals is unfathomable. Yet, they come to thought every single day. So, what does this mean?

My stance of nature and morality is human's weakness. As humans are an intelligent beings, morality is often the foreground for everyday life. With constant expectations and desires, our morals often play a significant role in decisions and goals.

Yet, as humans we do have these instincts and behaviors that can be seen as primal. If we give into these desires is that just nature playing its course? For those that fall victim, the easy answer is yes. We are animals, it's only "natural" to have multiple partners and not consider emotions.

Angels and Insects focused a lot on social class and behaviors within them. Red and Black Ants. Being intermingled within a class and desiring to get out. I would argue the idea of wanting to escape a social class is morality and not nature. Primarily because from what I've learned, it's natures path to pack and group animals of the same breed. Though William was not the same breed as the Alabaster's, he was somewhat welcomed into their world, his morals forced him to leave. His morals witnessed the natural corruption and he felt he had to escape.

In life we are faced with many circumstances that force us to think of nature and morals. It's entirely our decision on how we answer and react to the conditions surrounding us. The notion of morality would perhaps be the more sophisticated choice, such as William's. Yet our natural instincts may desire otherwise.
