Unnatural

Where to begin with this one. I guess at the beginning would be the natural place to start. Doing so in the manner I generally do as pointed out by Penderis seems like the natural way to go about it, even though the word is unnatural.

The word is kind enough to begin with "un". Un generally means returning to an original state. Something being altered from one state to another. Then being returned to it's original state, would have the alteration undone. Un does serve other purposes in words such as like "under". Der is not a word that stands alone though, UNlike unnatural. The un in unlike is used to demonstrate not the same as. Similar to returning to a previous state in the example prior.

Natural. Now that is a combination of two other words, Nature and all. The Nature of all. A natural state of being, Today. we live in an unnatural state generally. We live outside of the natural world. We use a need as justification instead of finding a safe solution. We live in a world that runs for profit. An unnatural state. This state has no concern for the state of anything around it. Just the survival of itself. It longs to exist outside of the natural world while reaping all the benefits from it.

It is an eco system that is doomed to fall on itself. It does not look after itself by ensuring future ability by only serving to support itself. The inevitability is few will have the means to continue while a small group gain control and the ability to control more and more with each passing year. This can be seen in industry like energy were the costs of production is greatly reduced and the cost to the consumer increases. Something not natural in that.

Our reliance on the need for finance is not a natural way to live. It has become the standard way to live, This does not make it a natural way to live. More and more people are encouraged to live in debt to create wealth for those who will remain unknown. This is not a natural way to live. It is very close to cannibalism,

The natural thing to do is to assist your neighbour. The society we have developed does not promote this. The society we live in today promotes standing on others to reach a greater height. It is solely a financial world we have come to live in. There is nothing natural about it other than it is the only world we have experienced.
