Aphorism: Nature

I've said it here before, but I might as well reiterate with an aphorism: If you don't pick sexual partners based entirely* on looks, then you shouldn't choose Mother Nature based entirely on hers.

Also, you can think that she beats you because she loves you all that you want, but that shouldn't stop someone from calling the cops when one of your domestic battles gets out of hand.

* I think that all sexual partners are ultimately chosen for more or less superficial reasons -- physical or otherwise -- but that's beside the point of the metaphor.
