Nature is miraculous, calm, pure, exuberant, happy, harmless, loving,
and caring in every way whether it’s in the form of rain, tree, fruit, sun,
beautiful creatures as butterflies, sea shells etc. Anything related to nature
always reflects pure beauty. We are fortunate that we can associate ourselves
with this beauty of creation but unfortunately instead of respecting it we
hardly care for it. Being young adults we are also very much aware about recent
changing ecology. Why can't we understand that we are only responsible for our
own destruction! Global warming, greenhouse effect...these are the outcomes of
our own decision. Never forget that we have borrowed the land from our children.
Once Logal Pearsall Smith said "What humbugs we are, who pretend
to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn!” Nature is like the paint brush of
God. He communicates to us through his paintings because he loves all of us but
unfortunately we fail to reciprocate his emotions. Instead we tear it off to
make something which could be expended by us for our own comfort. Nature is
absolutely altruistic it heals us up when we get injuries, it gives us food
when we are hungry, it gives us water when we are thirsty, it gives us shelter
when we have no land to sleep, it makes us smile by offering us beautiful
flowers and sometimes act as shoulder of friend and what we have given it
back?? Industrialization, globalization, deforestation......do we care for
anything else other than our own comfort!
Nature is calm but when it becomes furious we start to pray and expect
that God could never harm us. We are great fools who always claim to be
powerful and intelligent. I believe you have to be the change to see the change
in the world. Learn to appreciate it, love it, respect it, it'll love you back
for sure, and if you don't believe me try it. Plant a tree, talk to it, feel its growth, you are growing not only a tree but a power
in it. Furthermore watch the video and
the link given, you'll realize and understand what nature has given to you and
what you should do in return.
