Keep in mind as well, that organisms adapt to that predation. Herds of herbivores would quickly consume the available resources, if there isn't some predation to keep the herds under control.

To nature, good and bad are the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental. The 1/0 of sentience.

It is only to culture that they are some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, because it is the function of culture to synchronize the community as a larger social super organism. A tribe, herd, flock, school, hive, etc. Thus the need for a common language, rules, measures, beliefs, motivations.

Within the larger ecosystem in which organisms exist, there tends to be overall balance, as the individual waves of activity rise and fall.

One is the node, oneness is the network.

Synchronization and harmonization, with resonance and reverberations in the middle.

As individual nodes, we are the connection point between the network that is our body and the network of the society and world in which that society is a node.

Like a tree is a stitch between the earth and sky.

Life is like a sentence. The end is just punctuation. What matters is how well you tie the rest of the story together.

The network.
