Nature doesn't want you to eat once, have one child, or hang out with a group of people. No, it wants you to socialize and reproduce and eat and keep doing it as long as you're alive. And that's absolutely by design, which also means all those promises are hollow. Wit has been designed in that way. The beneficiary is nature, but not you, not us.
Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches the Katha Upanishad, which is one of the most popular Upanishads. The scripture concerns the story of a young man who goes to the house of death to find out what happens after death. The reply describes the nature of reality and the meaning of life.
