Half shower thought, half stoner thought. It may seem obvious, but I was dwelling on the point for a while, deeper and deeper.
We exist in a symbiotic relationship with nature, a sort of balanced trade of breaths. Trees release oxygen which we breathe in to survive, and in return, we release carbon dioxide that fuels their photosynthesis. In this manner, we are locked in a reciprocal, almost parasitic yet mutually beneficial relationship with nature.
We are entwined in an unending dance with the natural world, each sustaining the one other.

So, basically, what you’re saying is that sometimes, if you do only a cursory glance, you can see relationships that are parasitic; however, if you do a more in-depth analysis, you find that they’re mutually beneficial.
You know what that means? It means that you were completely fucking wrong when you called that relationship “parasitic”. It means that doing your due diligence ruled your earlier evidence incorrect. It means that what you thought was “parasitic” is actually mutually beneficial. It means that “parasitic” and “mutually beneficial” are two completely different fucking things.
