Iani, no computer programming technique I've seen so far comes close to "natural thinking". The former must be rigid at all times and the latter is totally abstract.
Object oriented is still imperative, which means one instruction follows another. The difference between OO and procedural is deep under the covers. It's explained well in Bertrand Meyer's "Object-Oriented Software Engineering", but without considerable experience you may find it hard going and/or simply will not understand it. I do not know of an easier way.

How do you know it's "artificial" if you're not OO
Object oriented programming has a curve no doubt. In the beginning it will annoy you, because as it's imperative you will not be able to see its advantages. After a short while (1-2 yrs), well then you'll understand why OO is the way it is.
