Just because everything is as it needs to be doesn't mean that humans act accordingly. When one reads: "Everything" a ballet of meanings begins to dance before one's mind. Is it every particular thing that exists? Is it a metaphor for the universe? Is it an oversimplification? An over-generalization? The way I interpret it is "the way of Reality". Our dream-scape of a reality. Our Cybermental construct of the realm we've inherited. -- Everything is just as it must be for our reality to be as it needs to be yet we act in corrupt, selfish, unsustainable ways and expect everything else to keep up with us. It doesn't seem to work that way, my friends. Though we are the spawn of it, and though we observe it we are no higher nor lower than anything we can observe.

Everything is as it needs to be, except human nature.
