lets nature take its course
Allows natural outcomes
To let nature take its course is to allow events to unfold without intervention, accepting whatever outcome results from natural processes.
The phrase often appears in medical contexts when deciding against aggressive treatment: The family decided to let nature take its course.
It can apply to any situation where someone chooses not to interfere: Rather than forcing a reconciliation, she let nature take its course.
