		<description>Yes and No. 

The rocks and trees in the forest aren't at war, the shore and the ocean aren't at war, night and day aren't at war. 

The Tao is perfect and so on and so forth and everyone is in harmony with it. Yada yada yada. 

But still though when you bulldoze a forest and pave it over, the nature spirits don't all leap for joy and sing praise songs all at once. There is mourning. 

Humanity has been on a trend of using metals and minerals and and toxic chemicals to create our human habitat for a long time now. 

That's no small thing to go from a forest or a prairie, where every kingdom has its proper boundary and sphere, and to over turn that oder and smash all the living things and reassemble them in a way that metals and minerals dominate the landscape.

Its a type of shamanism that has only been working with certian types of spirits. I am not saying these spirits have no no place in the world only that its out of balance.</description>
