Uses of 'nature'

I've been playing around with the word nature and the malleability of its uses.

Some variations:

- natural world
- it's in my nature
- the nature of this message
- it's only natural / that's not natural
- nature vs. nurture
- naturally / the natural thing to do is...
- natural peanut butter or other products

Meanings:

- wild / of the earth
- essence / personality / soul / temperament / disposition
- characteristic
- understandable
- DNA / genetic makeup
- obviously / obvious
- organic / without artificial additives
