When I think of nature I think of the horrible dilemmas: wolves starving, circling a new mother and her cub.
I think of pestilence, the urgent near insatiable need to find food, stave off predators and yet somehow extol endless energy to mate.

It does not make me miserable to think of these things, it’s just life. Life is struggle for the majority of living things with brief intermissions of contentedness- if you think otherwise you’re only kidding yourself (although it doesn’t harm anyone by living that delusion.)
David Attenborough pulls few punches when showing how brutal the food chain is. Keeping your kids safe means others starve. This goes for plants too, it’s surprisingly easy to empathise with tragedies that occur to other species, including flora and fauna.
