Sounds like a naturalistic fallacy and/or a just world fallacy.

There's not a silver lining to everything. Some things just suck. Nature is brutal, not caring. Many relationships between organisms are purely parasitic, exploitative, not symbiotic. If you really want a downer, look up what some varieties of the cordyceps parasitic fungus do to ants.
