Summary

This quote suggests that in nature, there are no inherently positive or negative outcomes based on one's actions. Instead, there are only consequences, which are the natural results that arise from our interactions with the natural world. It implies that nature works on cause and effect, where our actions have repercussions, regardless of whether they are perceived as rewards or punishments. Therefore, it reminds us to consider the consequences of our actions and understand that nature operates based on its own laws, rather than assigning value-based rewards or punishments.
