What do you mean by this? Do you believe nature always goes to 'better' states? If so, what is 'better'? Is it more moral (good), more real (truth), more aesthetic (beatyfull)? Or is it all these, and thus, you agree with Plato's philosophy? I certainly disagree with him. For me, philosophers are the most important men which are given to humanity, but as a philosopher myself, I must hate some and adore others. I wish the thoughts of Plato, Kant, Hegel, Keynes (if we can call that brainless economist a 'philosopher' at all).... You mentioned Schopenhauer, do you like him (as philosopher)? Have you read Nietzsche?
