Why does mother nature fight back since it is not a living thing and have no feelings?

I heard a saying called ';don't mess with nature or else she'll fight back with brutal fury.';





If humans pollute the environment and damage the ecosystem, nature fights back and will win. Or fighting back a hurricane or tsunami. For example, there is acid rain or weather will change harshly for us.Why does mother nature fight back since it is not a living thing and have no feelings?
';Nature'; is (almost) certainly NOT an Intelligent, purposeful being. Some older philosophies personified nature, ie ';Gia';, Western theology sees nature as the created product of a personal god.





Science, since the 1400's, sees nature as the sum of what exist and acts in a very complex way based on a few simple rules or ';Laws of Nature';





';Nature fights back'; is a way of saying that actions have consequences. Example: burn more carbon fuel, raise the CO2 levels and the global temperature rises. We humans might not like it but ';Nature'; does not care.


';Chaos Theory' says very small changes can have large and unpredictable results.
