After reading/skimming chapters 7-9 a couple items stood out for me; the first being "nature makes no judgement but humans do (pg. 105) and this reminds me of my father's saying that "there are no bad children, just bad parenting." People have a tendency to look at situations and call them bad. In biblical times, Jewish men could have more than one wife. Today, we look at that and say that's bigotry. If God was okay with it (if you believe in God), then why does man (humans) have to make things so complicated. Nature has a way of fixing itself without human input. We tend to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Another eye catcher was the story of Beyond the F--- It. Life has a way of pushing you to your limits or what you might have thought was your limits. It's great to go beyond your breaking point sometimes. It teaches you that you are stronger, more capable of success than what you previously thought.
