The ever shifting of human perspective is dynamic. Every innovative idea was birthed by the need for solution, then gradually the solution becomes a problem, so it's needs another form of solution and the never ending circle goes on and on. From the time of creation, all we humans ever knew was what is considered natural, an abundance of nature.
As we grow more aware of our being and become more knowledgeable, our new found knowledge becomes the foundation of the creation of what is considered artificial or synthetic. The emergence of anything artificial was meant to combat humans inadequacy or temporary solution to eradicate scarcity. As we all know, we humans might be an embodiment of immense knowledge but still, our imperfection remains constant.
In order to trim out our imperfection, we decided to create items that will serve as a support system, to cover our own weaknesses. As time goes on, the artificial that was just meant to be a support system, we humans started depending on it for survival. Ranging from foods to all forms of products.
As a result of this drastic change in humans desire, we created a new form of problem. The founders of anything artificial never saw it as something we humans might try to use in replacing what is considered organic or natural. With this new dependency, there comes a need to try as much as possible to make artificial products more dependable with less consequences. A mix of organic and artificial products or materials.
But you see, no matter how much we try to sugarcoat anything artificial, it doesn't make it natural. With anything artificial comes consequences and this consequences might be deadly, having these in mind, people's minds shifted again. We are all trying as much as possible to avoid the consequences of depending on artificial stuff and so a bid war began for anything organic.
Can artificial replace what is considered natural? Well artificial stuff was never created to replace natural in the first place, it was meant to be a support system for natural stuff. Trying to replace anything natural with artificial, means eradicating everything on earth, which is impossible. I mean the earth is self is a product of nature and every other thing that exist with it. Anything artificial will remain a temporary subtitle for natural stuff and nothing more.
Everyone is entitled to their own perspective of this subject, in as much as what is natural is more beneficial especially when it comes to foods but the fact remains, anything natural is always prone to extinction or scarcity. Which means it is always scarce, having this in mind we need the artificial to survive while we also make use of the natural. It is just a matter of finding balance in the usage of both natural and artificial stuff But the moment we began to shift towards one part, then we suffer the consequences for negligence. Artificial and natural stuff both have roles to play in the society, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
